Brazil Business eVisa
Professional visa solution for business travelers and entrepreneurs
Understanding the Brazil Business eVisa
The Brazil Business eVisa is a specialized electronic visa category designed for professionals engaging in business activities within Brazil. Unlike tourist visas, this visa type explicitly authorizes business-related entry and provides legal coverage for corporate activities, negotiations, and professional engagements.
Brazil represents one of Latin America's largest economies and offers tremendous opportunities for international business. From São Paulo's financial district to the industrial hubs of southern Brazil, business travelers find robust infrastructure, growing markets, and expanding trade relationships that make Brazil an attractive destination for corporate expansion and partnerships.
Effective April 10th, 2025, business travelers from Australia, Canada, and the United States must obtain this specific visa type before entry. The digital application process ensures that business professionals can secure necessary authorizations efficiently without disrupting their busy schedules.
