IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- The purpose of the trip and the intended length of stay determine which visa will be required under Brazilian immigration law. There are two main types of visas: Visitor Visas (VIVIS) and Temporary Visas (VITEM).
- As shown in the table of contents below, a VIVIS applies to a range of travel purposes for maximum stays of up to 90 days. For some of these purposes, if the intended stay exceeds 90 days, a VITEM must be requested. Temporary Visas are broken down into sub-categories (VITEM I to VITEM XIV), according to specific travel purposes and lengths of stay.
- VITEM holders must register with the Federal Police within 90 days from first entry. Upon registration, the individual will have to present a document containing both parents’ full names (e.g. full birth certificate/personbevis fullform), which must be duly apostilled by the competent authority in the issuing country (Notarius Públicus in Sweden) and subsequently translated into Portuguese by a sworn translator ("tradutor juramentado") in Brazil. Swedish documents must be APOSTILLED by the Notarius Públicus in Sweden.
- Passports must be valid for the entire period the individual intends to remain in Brazil.
- Visa applicants must meet all requirements to receive the category of visa for which they are applying. The Consulate may request additional information or documentation, as deemed necessary.
- Select a visa category from the chart below to learn more. After reading the instructions, if you have any queries, please send an e-mail to consular.estocolmo@itamaraty.gov.br
