Visa policy of Brazil

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Nationals of many countries may visit Brazil without a visa, while others must obtain a visa from one of the Brazilian diplomatic missions. For stays longer than 90 days or for employment in Brazil, all foreign nationals must have a visa or residency authorization.

Visa exemption

Holders of ordinary passports of the following jurisdictions do not need a visa to visit Brazil for up to 90 days (unless otherwise noted):[1][2]

Visitors entering Brazil under a visa exemption are subject to the same restrictions as those entering Brazil with a visitor visa (for tourism, business, transit, artistic and sport activities, without payment from Brazilian sources).[99]

Nationals of Spain are specifically required to hold a ticket for entering and leaving Brazil, proof of accommodation or a notarized invitation letter, and proof of funds of at least R$170 per day.[100]

Visas are not required for airport transit, from any nationality, as long as the traveler does not leave the international transit area.[99]

Brazilian citizens who also have another nationality are allowed to enter and leave Brazil with the passport of the other country in combination with a Brazilian identity card. If they do not provide this Brazilian document, they may still enter Brazil as foreigners, subject to the regular requirements and limitations as such.[101] However, usually this case is only possible if Brazil does not require a visa from the other nationality. Brazil only issues visas to dual citizens in exceptional circumstances, such as for those who work in foreign government jobs that prohibit the use of a Brazilian passport.[102]

Holders of diplomatic, official or service passports of countries exempt from visitor visas (listed above) do not need a visa, except those of Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco and New Zealand.[g][1]

In addition, holders of diplomatic, official or service passports of Algeria, Angola, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, China, Congo, East Timor,[h] Egypt,[h] Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, India,[h] Ivory Coast, Jordan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Lebanon, Malawi,[h] Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nepal, Nigeria, Oman, Rwanda, São Tomé and Príncipe, Senegal, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Tanzania, Togo, Vietnam and Zambia and of diplomatic passports of Cuba, Iran, Pakistan[h] and Uzbekistan do not need a visa.[1]

Future changes

Brazil has signed visa waiver agreements with the following countries, but they are pending ratification or implementation:

  •  European Union - amendment of existing agreement for holders of ordinary passports, redefining the maximum visa-free stay as 90 days in a 180-day period[103]
  •  Sierra Leone - for holders of diplomatic, official or service passports, up to 90 days, or the entire period of a mission if accredited to Brazil[104]

The Mexican government unilaterally suspended its visa waiver agreement with Brazil, requiring a visa or electronic authorization for nationals of Brazil to travel to Mexico from 11 December 2021,[105] and a regular visa from 18 August 2022.[106] However, the Brazilian government maintained the visa exemption for nationals of Mexico to travel to Brazil at the time. In July 2023, both governments announced their intention to adopt electronic visas for each other's nationals, and to eventually resume their visa waiver agreement.[107] In March 2024, Brazilian Minister of Foreign Affairs Mauro Vieira announced that the ministry had opened an invitation to tender to implement the system to issue electronic visas for nationals of Mexico.[108]

In March 2023, the Brazilian government announced its decision to resume the visa requirement for nationals of Australia, Canada, Japan and the United States, to restore reciprocity. The government planned to offer the option of electronic visas for nationals of these countries, as it was the case before the unilateral exemption was established in 2019.[109] In August 2023, Brazil and Japan concluded a reciprocal visa exemption agreement, and later the Brazilian government postponed the resumption of the visa requirement for nationals of Australia, Canada and the United States to 10 April 2024.[4] The website to apply for electronic visas became available on 1 December 2023.[110]

Visa types and requirements

Brazilian visa

Visitor visa

The visitor visa (VIVIS) allows stays of up to 90 days, for the following purposes:[99][111]

  • Tourism, including cultural and recreational activities, family visits, attending conferences, volunteer work, research, study and teaching;
  • Business, including meetings, events, reporting, filming, surveying, signing contracts, audits, consulting, airplane and ship crew;
  • Transit;
  • Artistic and sport activities.

Holders of visitor visas are not allowed to receive payment from Brazilian sources for the activities during their stay, except for daily allowances for living expenses, payments for entertainment performances, compensation for management of their own business, reimbursement of travel expenses, and competition prizes.[99]

The visitor visa is usually valid for multiple entries during the visa validity period, which is generally one year but may be longer for some nationalities. Each stay is initially limited to 90 days, but an extension may be requested from the Federal Police after arrival. The combined stays must not exceed 180 days per any one-year period.[99]

Nationals of the following countries may apply for visitor visas electronically:[112]

Temporary visa

Many types of temporary visas (VITEM) are available, for stays longer than 90 days. Certain types of visas allow employment in Brazil. For some visas based on work or investment, the applicant must obtain authorization from the General Coordination of Immigration (CGIG) before requesting the visa.[99]

All holders of temporary visas intending to stay for more than 90 days are required to register with the Federal Police within 90 days after arrival. After registration, they receive a national migration registration card (CRNM) and are granted residency for a certain period. In some cases this period may be "indeterminate" (permanent residency). Temporary residents may later apply to renew their residency period or convert it to permanent residency in some cases. Only the time spent as a permanent resident qualifies for naturalization.[99]

In addition to registration, a

taxpayer number (CPF) is required for various transactions, and a work card (CTPS) is required for those who will be employed in Brazil.[113] These documents may be obtained in digital format online, free of charge.[114][115]

Humanitarian

VITEM III is a humanitarian visa granted to nationals or stateless residents of countries experiencing serious instability, armed conflict, disaster or violations of human rights.[99] Brazil has designated Afghanistan,[120] Haiti,[121] Syria[122] and Ukraine[123] for this type of visa. Residency is granted initially for two years, after which the applicant may request permanent residency.

Working holiday

VITEM VI is a working holiday visa, whose primary purpose must be tourism but paid work is also allowed. This visa is available only by international agreement with the country of nationality.[99] Such agreements are in effect with Australia,[124] France,[125] Germany[126] and New Zealand.[127] These agreements require that the applicant be between 18 and 30 years of age, and allow a stay of up to one year.

Investment

VITEM IX is available for three types of investment. One type is for managers and executives whose companies invest at least R$600,000 in a Brazilian company, or at least R$150,000 and also generate at least 10 new jobs within two years.[128] Another type is for applicants who personally invest at least R$500,000 in a Brazilian company, or at least R$150,000 in research activities.[129] In both cases, the applicant is granted permanent residency from the start.

The other type of investment requires the personal purchase of urban real estate, for at least R$700,000 if located in the North or Northeast region, or at least R$1 million if located in another region. In this case, residency is granted initially for four years, after which the applicant may request permanent residency.[130]

Family reunification

VITEM XI is available for spouses, domestic partners, children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents, dependent siblings and dependent stepchildren of a Brazilian citizen, or of a person holding or applying for Brazilian residency not also based on family reunification, and for legal guardians of a Brazilian citizen. For this visa, residency is granted initially for the same period as the family member. Applicants may request permanent residency when the family member acquires it or after four years of residency.[131][132]

International agreements

VITEM XIII is available for nationals of countries with residency agreements. Agreements providing permanent residency from the start are in effect with Argentina[133] and Uruguay.[134] A Mercosur agreement is also in effect with Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay and Peru, providing residency initially for two years, after which the applicant may request permanent residency.[135]

Immigration policy

VITEM XIV is available in various categories under the Brazilian immigration policy.

One category is for retirees and beneficiaries of survivor pensions who have a monthly income of at least US$2,000 and can transfer it to Brazil. Residency is granted initially for two years, after which the applicant may request permanent residency.[136][137]

Another category is for digital nomads, who work remotely for a foreign employer using telecommunications technology, with a monthly income of at least US$1,500 from a foreign payer or bank funds of at least US$18,000. Residency is granted for one year and may be renewed.[138]

Based on an agreement of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries, VITEM XIV is also available for nationals of Angola, Cape Verde, East Timor, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Portugal and São Tomé and Príncipe who are professors, researchers, technicians, teachers, businesspeople, artists, athletes, managers of cultural and sport events, and exchange students. Nationals of these countries who are already in Brazil, regardless of occupation or immigration status, may request residency, which is granted initially for two years, after which they may request permanent residency.[139]

Medical training

VITEM XV (VICAM) is available for medical doctors to participate in the Mais Médicos medical training program. This visa allows a stay of up to four years, renewable for four more years.[140]

Requests for residency while already in Brazil

Requests for residency with the same purposes and conditions as temporary visas (except VITEM XII and XV) may also be made while the individual is already in Brazil, having entered with a certain visa or waiver but later qualifying for a different or more desirable category. In addition, individuals in various circumstances may also request residency while already in Brazil:[99]

Diplomatic, official and courtesy visas

Brazil issues diplomatic visas (VIDIP) to representatives of foreign governments or international organizations, as well as official visas (VISOF) to their staff. It also issues courtesy visas (VICOR) to notable people for unofficial trips, to family members and domestic workers of holders of diplomatic or official visas, and to artists and athletes for free cultural events.[99]

Accepted travel documents

For issuing visitor and temporary visas, Brazil accepts passports of all entities that have diplomatic relations with it (all

laissez-passer.[1]

For issuing diplomatic and official visas, Brazil only accepts passports of entities that have diplomatic relations with it.[1]
