Planning a trip to Brazil for vacation, business, or to visit someone special? 🌎
If you’re a U.S. citizen, there’s one important detail to handle before packing your bags: getting a Brazilian visa.
Starting in April 2025, Brazil reintroduces the visa requirement for citizens of the United States, Canada, and Australia— but don’t worry. Here’s your friendly, step-by-step guide to make the process easy and stress-free.
Who Needs a Visa to Visit Brazil in 2025?
If you hold a U.S., Canadian, or Australian passport, you’ll now need a valid visa before entering Brazil — whether for tourism, business, or even just a layover.
Who Needs a Visa to Visit Brazil in 2025?
✅ Step 1: Apply Online (e-Visa)
No need to visit an embassy — Brazil is using a digital e-Visa system for simplicity.
You’ll apply through the official Brazilian government visa platform (coming soon — the official provider is being finalized).
Here’s what you’ll need:
- A valid passport (must be valid for at least 6 months after your arrival date)
- A passport-style photo (recent, plain white background)
- Your travel details (flights, accommodation info, dates)
- A credit card to pay the visa fee
💳 Estimated total cost: around $80 USD (visa + service fee)
⏱ Processing time: approximately 5 business days
✅ Step 2: Receive and Print Your e-Visa
After approval, your visa will be emailed to you as a PDF document.
📌 Make sure to print a copy and bring it in your carry-on luggage — you’ll need to show it when entering Brazil.
When Should You Apply?
Apply at least 2 weeks before your travel date, to give yourself plenty of time in case of processing delays.
How Long Can You Stay in Brazil?
Your tourist e-Visa typically allows:
- A stay of up to 90 days
- Validity of up to 5 years
- Multiple entries — meaning you can return within the validity period without reapplying
(Exact terms may vary depending on future announcements and reciprocity rules.)
