What Is the Brazil eVisa and Who Needs It?

The Brazil eVisa is an electronic visitor visa for citizens of the United States, Canada, or Australia. If you come from one of these countries, you need a visa for Brazil.

The eVisa application is completed 100% online. Apply before you travel, and show confirmation of approval when you arrive. It covers:

  • Tourism and holidays
  • Visiting friends or relatives
  • Business meetings, conferences, or commercial events
  • Transit through Brazil

The eVisa doesn’t allow you to accept employment or carry out regular paid work for a Brazilian company. It’s for temporary visits only.

Brazil eVisa validity

The Brazil eVisa allows you to stay up to 90 days over 1 year. This covers 12 months from your entry date, whether you use those days in one trip or across several visits.

You can request an extension of up to 90 additional days in a 1-year period from the Brazilian Federal Police before your initial authorized period expires.

The eVisa is a multi-entry permit, meaning you can use it for multiple visits as long as you respect the 90 days in 12 months rule. Depending on your nationality, the visa is valid for 5 to 10 years.

Passport nationalityeVisa validityEntries permitted
United StatesUp to 10 yearsMultiple entries
CanadaUp to 5 yearsMultiple entries
AustraliaUp to 5 yearsMultiple entries

The final decision on your visa validity rests with Brazilian immigration authorities. Always check the expiration date and conditions shown on your approved eVisa before traveling.

Also required: Brazil e-DBV Customs Declaration

In addition to your eVisa, all travelers entering or leaving Brazil are required to submit a Brazil e-DBV (Electronic Declaration of Goods). This is your customs declaration, and it's mandatory even if you have nothing to declare.

Once you've completed your Brazil eVisa, we'll give you the option to add the Brazil e-DBV Customs Declaration before checkout. It's required for all travelers, takes just a few minutes, and means you'll arrive in Brazil with everything sorted.

Prefer to do it now? You can start your e-DBV application directly below. Either way, we'll make sure you arrive fully covered.

Travel informationYour expected arrival and departure details, flight itinerary, accommodation booking, or host information

You may be asked to show that you have sufficient funds for your trip to Brazil, such as recent pay stubs or bank account statements. Usually, an available balance of at least US$2,000 or the equivalent in another currency is accepted.

You’ll also need to show you have plans to leave Brazil, like an onward travel ticket or return flight booking.

Brazil eVisa document rules for minors

Children need their own visa for Brazil. It’s not possible to include a minor in a parent’s application. To fill out a child eVisa application, you need:

  • Child’s passport and birth certificate
  • Visa authorization form signed by both parents or guardians and notarized
  • Color copies of the bio and signature pages of both parents’ or guardians’ passports
  • A notarized custody order (when one parent has sole legal custody)
  • A death certificate (when one parent is deceased)

If one of the child’s parents is a Brazilian citizen, additional documentation is usually needed. A child who holds Brazilian citizenship cannot receive a Brazilian visitor visa.

When the child has not been registered as a Brazilian citizen and does not hold a Brazilian birth certificate or passport, the Brazilian parent needs to provide a notarized Declaration of Non-Citizenship.

Brazil eVisa FAQs

How far in advance should I apply for a Brazil eVisa?

Toggle faqs

Once submitted, you’ll get a final decision on your application in 1 to 6 days. We recommend applying two to four weeks before your departure date, so you have time to respond if additional documents or corrections are requested.

Do I need a Brazil eVisa if I am only transiting through an airport?

Toggle faqs

It depends on your itinerary. You may need an eVisa if you need to collect luggage, check in again, change airports, use separate tickets, or pass through Brazilian border control. If in doubt, it’s best to request an eVisa before traveling to avoid issues.

Is my Brazil eVisa valid if the passport used to apply has expired?

Toggle faqs

Your eVisa may still be valid until its stated expiration date, even if the passport connected to it has expired. You should carry both the expired passport used in the application and your valid new passport.

Border officers may need both documents to verify the eVisa. The final decision on entry is made by Brazilian immigration authorities when you arrive. For a smoother journey, you’re recommended to apply for a new visa with your updated passport details.

Can I extend my stay in Brazil beyond 90 days?

Toggle faqs

You may be able to request an extension from the Brazilian Federal Police before your authorized stay expires. This can allow you to stay for up to 90 additional days, but extensions aren’t automatic. Apply early if you know you want to stay longer.

What additional documents do travelers under 18 need?

Toggle faqs

Minors generally need a passport, birth certificate, notarized authorization form signed by both parents or guardians, and copies of the parents’ identification documents to get an eVisa.

Other documents, like a custody order or a death certificate of a deceased parent, may also be required depending on your circumstances.

Can I work in Brazil with a tourist or business eVisa?

Toggle faqs

No. The Brazil eVisa doesn’t authorize regular employment or paid work in Brazil. It can be used for tourism and short-term business activities, such as meetings, conferences, commercial negotiations, and similar activities that don’t create a Brazilian employment relationship.
