Passport and Visa considerations

Please be aware that Brazil has specific visa requirements based on your country of birth. For some countries, a Brazilian visa is not required, or only necessary for stays exceeding a certain length (typically over 90 days). However, for other countries, a visa is mandatory. It is important to check with the Brazilian Embassy or Consulate closest to your residence to determine whether you need a visa.

If a visa is required, it must be obtained in advance from the Brazilian Embassy or Consulate. "Airport visas" are not available, and individuals without a valid visa when required will be denied entry to Brazil.

To obtain a visa, you should reach out to the nearest Brazilian Consulate General. Additionally, ensure that your passport is not set to expire within six months of your planned entry into Brazil and that it has at least 2 blank pages. Please do not forget to obtain this visa or verify the validity of your current one, as there have been numerous cases of foreigners arriving in Brazil without one.

NOTE: If you have a valid Brazilian Visa (check the dates on the visa) in an expired passport, you can use both passports (renewed and the expired one with a valid visa to enter Brazil).
