What is the Brazil eVisa?

The Brazil eVisa is a digital travel document that lets you enter Brazil legally for short stays. It was introduced to make visiting easier for travelers from select countries, especially those coming for tourism, business, family visits, or participating in a sports or cultural event.

The Brazil eVisa doesn’t permit employment, engaging in paid activities, long-term stays, or studies. For this, you’ll need a different visa. To learn more about the various Brazilian visa types, please visit the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website.

Is the Brazil eVisa required for transit?

If you're transiting through Brazil and do not leave the international transit area of the airport, you typically do not need a visa. However, if you plan to pass through immigration or have a layover that requires exiting the transit area, you'll need to obtain an eVisa. ​

Who needs a Brazil eVisa?

The following nationalities are eligible for a Brazil eVisa:

  • Citizens of the United States

  • Citizens of Canada

  • Citizens of Australia

If you’re not from a country with visa-free access to Brazil and you’re not an American, Canadian, or Australian, then you’ll need to apply for a Visitor Visa from the nearest Brazilian embassy or consulate.

Tips for travelling to Brazil

Brazil eVisa requirements: What you need to apply

🧳 For most travelers:

  • A passport that’s valid through the end of your trip (with at least two blank visa pages)
  • A recent color passport photo with a white background
  • A travel itinerary (if you’re arriving by air or sea)

👶 If you’re applying for a minor:

Apart from the requirements listed above, you’ll need:

  • The child’s original birth certificate

  • A signed and notarized authorization letter from both parents

  • Official photo ID or passport copies from both parents

  • If one parent has sole custody, include a notarized court order

  • If one parent is deceased, you’ll need a death certificate

  • If the child has a Brazilian parent, include a signed statement confirming the child isn’t a Brazilian citizen (this applies if they don’t hold a Brazilian birth certificate)

  • If a parent’s name has changed since the birth certificate was issued, include proof of name change (like a marriage certificate or court order)

💼 If you’re applying for business travel:

Apart from the main requirements, you’ll need a letter on a company letterhead, signed by a manager or supervisor. It can come from your employer or the company you’re visiting in Brazil.

Hi Jasmine,

You can apply for the Brazil Tourist eVisa through the official portal. The application involves filling out a form, uploading your documents, and paying the fee.

That said, travelers have reported frequent issues on the government portal, like unclear instructions and frustrating site errors. If you’d rather skip the confusion, you can apply through us. We’ve simplified the form, give you step-by-step guidance on how to upload documents, and review everything before it's submitted to Brazil’s immigration system.

That way, you avoid mistakes and save time.

Hi Peter,

Yes, as a US citizen, you're eligible for the Brazil Tourist eVisa. Brazil reintroduced visa requirements for US, Canadian, and Australian travelers starting April 10, 2025. If you're from one of these three countries, you can apply online without needing to visit an embassy or consulate.

If you live in the US but have a different nationality, the eVisa is unfortunately not an option for you. You’d need to apply for a regular visa at the nearest Brazilian embassy or consulate.

Travel Registration is a service provided by the government. This service allows you to record information about your upcoming trip abroad to the Department of State so it can be used to assist you in case of an emergency. People residing abroad can also get routine information from their nearest embassy or consulate if registered.

There's no longer a need to present proof of COVID-19 vaccination, a negative test result, or a recovery certificate upon arrival in Brazil.

Embarking on a journey to Brazil? Understanding the differences between the Brazil eVisa and the Visitor Visa is key to a seamless travel experience.

You can check for which visa you must apply by scrolling up and selecting your nationality and destination.
