Who needs visa

Whether you need a visa to travel to Brazil depends on your nationality. Please check the most up-to-date information on the official Brazilian government website.

Special cases

If you are a U.S., Canadian or Australian Citizen, you must apply for an Electronic Visitor Visa (e-Visa) online. You will need:

• Valid Passport
• Visa application form (available at the official portal)
• Passport-style photo (2” x 2”, white background) – please send a clear picture since this is the most common reason for delays in the process
• E-visa fee payment 

Visit the official website for most up-to-date information: Electronic Visitor Visa (e-Visa).
