Brazil Reinstates Visa Requirement for Travelers from the U.S., Canada, and Australia

Effective April 10, 2025, citizens of the United States, Canada, and Australia are once again required to obtain a visa to enter Brazil for tourism or business purposes—a change that reverses the visa-free entry policy introduced in 2019.

Fast and Fully Digital Application Process
The good news? The process is entirely online and generally straightforward. Travelers can apply for an electronic visa (e-Visa) through the official platform:
brazil.vfsevisa.com

Once your application is submitted, e-Visas are typically issued via email within just a few business days.

What You’ll Need to Apply
To ensure a smooth application process, prepare the following documents:

• Valid Passport: Must be signed, valid through the duration of your stay, and have at least two blank pages.

• Online Visa Form: Completed through the official e-Visa portal.

• Digital Photo: A standard passport-style photo (2x2 inches) with a white background.

• Visa Fee: A processing fee of USD 80.90 is payable online during the application.

🌐 Who Needs a Visa?
This requirement currently applies only to travelers from Australia, Canada, and the United States. Citizens of most South American, Central American, and European countries remain exempt for short-term tourism and business stays.

Passport Validity Reminder
Regardless of your nationality or visa status, all travelers must carry a passport valid for at least six months beyond their entry date into Brazil. This document will be required for ID purposes, including domestic flights and hotel check-ins.

Update – May 2025
Some applicants have reported technical issues with the e-Visa system. If you prefer a more guided process, consider using third-party services like Travel Docs or other reputable visa agencies to assist with your application.
