E-Visa to Brazil - Tourism and business Visa

It came into force on November 21, 2017, with Law 13.445/2017 as an electronic Visa Visit Program and will be relaunched in January 2024 after an exemption period. 
In 2024, travelers can choose to apply for E-Visa 100% online, eliminating the need for in-person visits to the Brazilian Embassy and reducing bureaucracy.

You can use the E-Visa to attend the following activities that will last less than 90 days such as: Business, Tourism, Journalism, Sports activities, Artistic activities, Seminars and conferences, Cultural and Scientific programs, Research activities, voluntary activities, to visit family members or for short term medical treatment. All applicants should apply for their own EVisa, even minors.

All travelers need a passport valid for at least one month from the date of application. If your passport has been validated for less than a month, you will need to renew it or require a new one before applying for your e-Visa. You should also have at least a blank page.
