Brazil eVisa

The Brazil eVisa is an electronic visa that was implemented in November 2017. Since then, the Brazilian visa application has become much easier.

The Brazilian government introduced the online visa for Brazil for three nationalities. The Brazil eVisa can be obtained by citizens of Australia, Canada, and the United States who travel for tourism, business, and transit.

For now, these travelers can enter Brazil visa-free for up to 90 days. However, starting on 10 April 2025, they will be required to have a valid electronic visa.

The Brazil eVisa is a multiple-entry permit. You can stay in the country for up to 90 days per visit. Remember that you cannot remain in Brazil longer than 180 days per year.

The validity period of the Brazilian electronic visa varies between 12 months and 5 years. It’s chosen at the sole discretion of the Brazilian Immigration Office.

To apply for a Brazil eVisa, you need a passport and a device with an internet connection. Filling out the application form with the necessary data should take just a few minutes.

The processing time may take around 10 working days. Travelers are recommended to apply for even 2 months before the date of a planned trip to ensure a visa on time.

Your online visa for Brazil will be sent to your email inbox. It must be printed out and shown upon arrival in Brazil. Digital copies aren’t accepted.
