Brazil Visa Requisitos 2026

Brazil reintroduced visa requirements for US, Canadian, and Australian citizens on 10 April 2025 — these three nationalities now apply through the official Brazil e-Visa portal (brazil.vfsevisa.com) for tourism, business, transit, and short visits. EU and UK passport holders remain visa-free for stays up to 90 days. Mercosur nationals (Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador) enter on national ID and may reside/work. Other nationalities apply at a Brazilian consulate for VIVIS (Visit Visa, up to 90 days) or VITEM (Temporary Visa, longer stays) — VITEM has 14 subcategories including VITEM II (short-term work, up to 90 days), VITEM IV (student), VITEM V (formal employment, up to 2 years renewable), VITEM XI (investor), and VITEM XIV (digital nomad, minimum US$1,500/month income or US$18,000 savings).

Preguntas frecuentes

Dudas habituales sobre cómo solicitar un brazil visa.

Do US citizens need a visa for Brazil in 2026? +

US passport holders receive a 10-year multiple-entry e-Visa; Canadians and Australians get 5 years. Each stay is capped at 90 days, with a 180-day maximum in any 12-month period.

How much does the Brazil e-Visa cost? +

US$80.90, paid online by credit or debit card during the application at brazil.vfsevisa.com. The fee covers a single application — there is no separate consular fee on top.

How long does it take to get a Brazil visa? +

The e-Visa is processed within 5 business days officially, and the upgraded VFS platform now targets under 48 hours for most applicants. Consular VIVIS visit visas take 5–15 business days. Longer-stay VITEM visas (student, digital nomad) take 30–45 business days, and VITEM V work visas 40–60 business days after the employer obtains Ministry of Labor authorization.

Does Brazil have a digital nomad visa? +

Yes — VITEM XIV, launched in 2022. To qualify you must work remotely for an employer or clients outside Brazil and prove minimum income of US$1,500/month or savings of US$18,000. It is valid for 1 year and renewable once (2 years total). You cannot work for Brazilian employers or clients. Private health insurance valid in Brazil is mandatory.

Do European citizens need a visa for Brazil? +

No — EU and UK passport holders can enter Brazil visa-free for up to 90 days for tourism or business (extendable to 180 days in 12 months). The EU-Brazil amended visa-waiver agreement entered into force 1 March 2026. Brazilians will need ETIAS authorization for the Schengen area from 2026.

What is the Brazil reciprocity fee? +

Brazil historically applied reciprocity — charging US, Canadian, and Australian citizens visa fees mirroring what those countries charged Brazilians. After several visa-free postponements (2019–2025), Brazil reinstated the requirement on 10 April 2025 via the new e-Visa system at US$80.90 — still a reciprocity-based fee, but now collected online instead of at consulates.

What are the VITEM categories? +

VITEM (Visto Temporário) is Brazil's temporary residence visa umbrella with 14 subcategories, including: VITEM I (medical treatment), VITEM II (short-term work up to 90 days), VITEM III (humanitarian), VITEM IV (study), VITEM V (formal employment), VITEM VI (working holiday — by agreement only), VITEM VII (religious), VITEM IX (business/investment), VITEM XI (investor — R$700,000 real estate or R$500,000 business), VITEM XIII (family reunion), and VITEM XIV (digital nomad). Most are valid 1–2 years and convertible to permanent residence (CRNM) after the qualifying period.

Do I need a visa for Brazil if I have a Mercosur passport? +

No. Citizens of Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile, Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador enter Brazil with national ID only and have the right to reside and work under the Mercosur Residence Agreement. No visa or e-Visa is required.
