Brazil Visitor eVisa

Your complete guide to obtaining a tourist visa for Brazil

What is a Brazil Visitor eVisa?

The Brazil Visitor eVisa is an electronic travel authorization specifically designed for tourists and leisure travelers who wish to explore Brazil's magnificent landscapes, vibrant culture, and world-renowned attractions. This digital visa eliminates the need for in-person embassy visits, allowing you to apply from the comfort of your home.

Brazil, the largest country in South America, offers travelers an incredible diversity of experiences. From the iconic beaches of Rio de Janeiro and the powerful Iguazu Falls to the biodiverse Amazon rainforest and the cultural richness of Salvador, Brazil has something for every type of traveler. The Visitor eVisa opens the door to all these wonders, making your Brazilian adventure possible with a streamlined application process.

Since April 10th, 2025, citizens from Australia, Canada, and the United States are required to obtain an eVisa before entering Brazil for tourism purposes. This requirement ensures proper documentation while maintaining the ease and convenience of electronic processing.
