Key Points
- Brazil will require e-visas for travelers from the US, Canada, and Australia, effective April 10, 2024
Overview
The government of Brazil implemented new e-visa requirements for travelers from the US, Canada, and Australia on April 10, 2024. The e-visa, costing $81, can be obtained online and will be valid for ten years for US citizens and five years for Canadians and Australians, allowing multiple entries. Processing time is up to five business days, but longer timelines are anticipated.
To obtain the e-visa, travelers register on the website, provide personal and passport details, pay the fee, and await approval via email. If approved, the e-visa is sent as a PDF file to be presented during boarding and upon arrival. Travelers are advised to print two physical copies and capture a screenshot on their mobile device. Unlike consular visas, the e-visa process is entirely online.
According to the announcement, the reinstated visa requirement addresses reciprocity issues.
