COVID-19 – Guidance for travelers: rules for entering Brazil

Visa information

Brazil used to adopt a policy of reciprocity regarding visas. This means that nationals of countries that require visas for Brazilian citizens will need a visa to travel to Brazil. However, the new elected government is currently changing this policy, which has been contested by opposition parties. We will provide more updates along the year on that matter.

Tourists visas can be granted for those who are traveling for tourism or to artistic competitions, sport competitions, conferences, seminars or meetings, among other purposes – provided there is no payment or remuneration of any type.
