Brazil eVisa

What is the Brazil eVisa?

The Brazil eVisa is an online visa option that eliminates the need for embassy visits, offering a more convenient application process.

Only citizens of Australia, Canada, and the US traveling for tourism or business can obtain an electronic visa to Brazil. If you hold a Chinese passport, you can obtain a Brazilian eVisa to attend business events.

Upon the decision of Brazilian authorities the online visa can be issued for a time period between 12 months and 5 years.

The electronic visa allows eligible travelers to enter Brazil multiple times, with visits lasting up to 90 days per year.

The Brazil eVisa requirement applies to air, sea, and land travel.

Travelers from other countries either fall under the visa exemption category or must visit the nearest embassy in person for a visa service.

To check eligibility criteria for Brazilian visas for any nationality, we recommend using our Passporta entry requirements tool – it can be found at the top of the site.
