Who needs a Brazil visa?
Entry requirements for Brazil depend on your nationality, the purpose of your trip and how long you plan to stay. Some travelers enter visa free for short visits while others need a visa or electronic authorization — check the current rules with this embassy or on the official Brazil immigration portal before booking travel.
Long stays, work and study
Work, study and family visas usually require sponsorship or admission first and take longer to process than visitor visas.
