Traveling to Brazil
Visa requirements for entering Brazil depend on each traveler’s nationality, passport type and length of stay. Some participants may be visa-exempt, while others must apply in advance through the official Brazilian Government visa service, a Brazilian Consulate, or the eVisa platform when applicable. Before making travel arrangements, participants should check the most recent official rules, prepare the required documents, and confirm the applicable processing time and consular fees.
