Hey everyone, this video was filmed before they changed the start date a couple of times. The new date is April 2025. If there are meaningful changes to the visa process, I will post here, but for now, I haven’t heard of any news
Hi, thanks for the video. Since the date was postponed, does that mean a USA citizen can just buy the ticket and come to Brazil without a visa at this time? What would be required? Thank you
Well I just found out I have to get the Visa AFTER I bought My Ticket to Brazil. Man This is gonna be a tight timeframe to make it for March. I only JUST applied for my passport as well. This is beyond annoying. Thanks for the info, An explanation from an actual person seriously helps, rather than just a bunch of text online. Great vid
There are changes on the way for US travelers looking to go to Brazil. Starting April 10, 2024, the country now demands that travelers from the United States must have a visa for all reasons. One of the biggest changes that caused the most alarm and headlines is that now travelers must show access to at least $2,000 before being allowed to enter the country. The change to requiring financial proof was a shock to many, but not something entirely new. Travelers can show the $2,000 with a bank statement, or credit card statement, along with proof of income. This is not a typical requirement for travel, but several countries hold the right to refuse entry to those who cannot prove they have access to funds.
Olá! Acredito que sim. Esse visto do qual falo no video não se aplica a cidadãos europeus. Além do mais, ele é só um visto de visita (turismo, trânsito e negócios). Acredito que para moradia, seriam outros critérios. Sugiro entrar em contato com o consulado Brasileiro em Portugal e perguntar sobre os tipos de visto de residência.
After I published this video, the visas were delayed and now the plan is April 2025. If you are Canadian, American, or Australian, you shouldn’t need a visa until that date. After that, it will be the online process as mentioned in the video
Hi, unfortunately, i don’t work with that, but perhaps the Brazilian consulate in your jurisdiction might be able to point you in the right direction. Good luck!
Hi. I have a situation. I will be at the Iguazu Falls on the Argentina side but I would like to see the fall on the Brazil side. My plan is to take a taxi to the Brazil border. Go through immigration by land/foot. Next we will fly to Sao Paulo. Then fly Sao Paulo to Rio de Janeiro. To end Brazil, we will fly Rio de Janeiro to Mexico City. My question - Will the eVisa work in my case since I am entering Brazil by land/foot?
Hi, yes, on the website they now mention air, land, and sea. I believe this is a change from what they had initially on their website before they postponed.
I have a Brazilian “green card” RNM permanent resident visa but travel monthly to the USA. The Brazilian immigration staff have told me consistently that I will not need the new e-Visa. But when I emailed the official e-Visa website to ask, they replied that I need the e-Visa. The airline website does not address this. Can you answer with a source on a Brazilian govt website? Thank you!
Hey John, I would assume your RNM acts as a valid visa. The evisa is only for what is called visit visa (used for tourism, transit, business). According to what you said, this is not your case, you have a different type of visa, since you have a RNE. Any visa that is not a visit visa is dealt by the consulate, not the evisa platform, so I reckon they are not aware of these nuances. I am fairly confident that your RNE should suffice, but as I don’t work with visas, I strongly suggest you reach out to the consulate in your jurisdiction to clarify your questions. You can also explore the visa types available on the Foreign Ministry website: www.gov.br/mre/pt-br/assuntos/portal-consular/vistos/informacoes-sobre-vistos-para-estrangeiros-viajarem-ao-brasil
Hi Neil, I don't have any videos about that, but I believe the Brazilian Federal Police or the consulate in your jurisdiction could probably clarify that for you.
I'm an American Citizen already in Brazil. I will stay in Brazil past April 10,2024 until about May 15. I wish to extend my stay past the initial 90 days. Question is: When does the Visa start counting my new 90 day period (assuming I'm approved). Will the new 90-day period begin at the end of my initial 90 day period...or... will my new 90 days start the day I am approved? I'd like to do 90 days, not leave the country, and start a new 90 days with the new eVisa I will ideally acquire. Advise? Experience with this?
Hi, I haven't seen that situation explained by the visa platform so far. I think it depends a lot of when your 90 day period expires. Since you are already in Brazil, it might be a good idea to speak to the Policia Federal closest to you. They will probably have the details to help you on your specific scenario and will likely be able to give you appropriate guidance.
Hey, I’m so sorry to hear that! Maybe reach out to them through their contact info on their website. They might be able to help that way. Best of luck and have an amazing time in Brazil! 🍀🥰
I don’t think they announce explicitly what are the reasons for declining. I would assume lacking documentation, funds or Brad criminal background. In any case, I strongly suggest that you reach out to the Brazilian consulate in your jurisdiction to clarify any specific questions you might have
The eVisa and the physical visa have the same characteristics: both have the same validity and allow multiple entries. It is valid up to 10 years, if you are an American citizen.
Hey, I’m sorry to hear that! Each consulate has different procedures, so maybe check with other Brazilians in your area how they do it when they need to reach out to them. Good luck!
Hey! I think it is five years, multiple entries. I remember reading it somewhere but cannot find it now. But you can only stay up to 90 days every 180 days. I suggest you reach out to the consulate in your jurisdiction to confirm this information, as they are still ironing out a lot of the process, so things might change.
You can reach out to the consulate in your jurisdiction to check. Currently the visa is postponed until 2025, and it is only for citizens from the USA, CAN, and AUS
Hi Isadora, that is what looked like in their website, but indeed, they didn’t have anything explicit. In any case, it might be worth reaching out to the consulate to double check. Also, they have recently postponed the evisa deadline to April 10th, instead of Jan 10th, so if you are arriving in Brazil before that date, none of this info is applicable to you yet
Hi I have a question. the visa req takes effect April 10th.. does that mean, I can go to Brazil before April 10th without the visa and then leave back to the us for example April 15 with no issue?
Hi Jennifer, yes. Until the 10th, you can enter the country with the current process. There is no mention of the leave date, but I believe what counts is the enter date. In any case, maybe double check with the consulate in your jurisdiction just to have peace of mind. Safe travels!
They said typically two weeks, but would advise to request it at least two months in advance, to allow for you to send extra documents if needed. I suggest that if you are travelling after 10th April, to request it as early as possible. As usual, please reach out to the Brazilian consulate in your jurisdiction to ensure you get the most up to date info, as this video was filmed when the go live date was Jan 10th, but it has since changed and it might have other changes to process too.
Hi Juliz, when I made this video, the deadline for Brazil to start demanding the visa was January 10th, however, since then they have updated it to April 10th. Take a look at my community post where I posted the official source for this information.
Hi Juliz, it is in a tab called Community in my channel home page. A couple of posts down the feed. I share updated news about Brazil there. In any case, here is the official Gov Press Release info: www.gov.br/mre/pt-br/canais_atendimento/imprensa/notas-a-imprensa/nova-data-para-a-retomada-da-exigencia-de-vistos-de-visita-para-nacionais-de-australia-canada-e-estados-unidos?fbclid=IwAR35UJipuhgQVtY3-aBxoLfUOz5v4W_4iBWMaa4loH3v0X9pdVPT5Zgi6lM_aem_AQxS_JBQPcOXiN63rAfbxE9twarCvzCwE5uI6xdekrI4_pPcy4jE-vObmNww9AQTYH0
I don’t think this visa will have a significant impact on the international tourism in Brazil, because of the below: The reinstatement of the visa (because it was like that until 2019) is about the country’s sovereignty, not about tourism. It is based on one of the oldest principals in International Relations, the principal of Reciprocity (so, if Brazilians need a visa to visit the USA, Canada, and Australia, they need visas to visit Brazil too). Japan was supposed to be on this list, but as there is a new treaty that allows Brazilian people to visit Japan without a visa, they can continue to visit Brazil without one as well. The rule that is active from 2019 until now creates an imbalance in the diplomatic relations, hence the reinstatement. In regards to the influx of tourists, Australians and Canadians are not a significant portion of the international tourists. And Americans, despite being the second largest group, are still a very small portion of the total. Remember that South America (especially Argentina, around 30% of all of our international visitors) and most of Europe do not need visas to visit Brazil. Lastly, EMBRATUR, the Brazilian Tourism Agency has been working into advertising Brazil into the world and getting more flights available to and from Brazil, which should increase the numbers from tourists, including the countries that will need this visa. People need visas to get to loads of places, the USA itself being a strong example, and they are able to get a sizable number of tourists, I don’t see why this would be different for Brazil.
@@tripsterpanda Fact. I just saw the U.S is the second majority of tourists behind from Argentina. A typical one week stay for an U.S citizen in Brazil costs $2000 excluding the extra activities. Without bringing down any other country, we’re the most consumer around the world. Again, that Visa thing won’t last longer.

Best video explaining the process thank you
Glad you liked it!
Thanks, Anna, another great explanation of what is required to visit Brazil. I have already registered and on my way to completing the requirements.
Glad to help, Mark! Let me know if it does take five days indeed, as they claim. :)

I am waiting fot the official launch of the visa program to make an update on this video. Thanks for the comment!
I have my visa attached to my passport from 2017 … can I just use that?
I believe if your visa is still valid, it should be still usable, but please do reach out to the consulate in your jurisdiction to confirm 🥰

Viver no Brasil 🥴😂🤧? Brasil é o melhor
Does anyone know if you can get a tourist visa on arrival or you must apply online ?

Hi Neil, I don't have any videos about that, but I believe the Brazilian Federal Police or the consulate in your jurisdiction could probably clarify that for you.
how long wil it take to get to you

On the website it says my e-visa is approved but they never sent the email PDF! My trip is in less than 2 weeks 😩
Hey, I’m so sorry to hear that! Maybe reach out to them through their contact info on their website. They might be able to help that way.
Best of luck and have an amazing time in Brazil! 🍀🥰
What are the reasons to be rejected ?
I don’t think they announce explicitly what are the reasons for declining. I would assume lacking documentation, funds or Brad criminal background. In any case, I strongly suggest that you reach out to the Brazilian consulate in your jurisdiction to clarify any specific questions you might have
How long is the evisa good for? How many years?
The eVisa and the physical visa have the same characteristics: both have the same validity and allow multiple entries.
It is valid up to 10 years, if you are an American citizen.
@@tripsterpanda Thank you. Muito obrigado!!
I am going by bus from Argentina. But the consulate doesn’t respond so I applied via e-visa.
The consulate doesn’t respond via email or phone!
Hey, I’m sorry to hear that! Each consulate has different procedures, so maybe check with other Brazilians in your area how they do it when they need to reach out to them. Good luck!
Thanks! Eu estou listo para conhecer ao Brasil. Do you know how long we have with this visa, and if it can be extended?
Hey! I think it is five years, multiple entries. I remember reading it somewhere but cannot find it now. But you can only stay up to 90 days every 180 days. I suggest you reach out to the consulate in your jurisdiction to confirm this information, as they are still ironing out a lot of the process, so things might change.
O melhor estado do Brasil é a do Ceará ❤
Ainda tenho que conhecer! Mas ouço maravilhas sobre o Ceará!
I need Brazil e viza
You can reach out to the consulate in your jurisdiction to check. Currently the visa is postponed until 2025, and it is only for citizens from the USA, CAN, and AUS

Brazil was requiring Visas back in 2015. I assume that those 10-year Visas are still valid.
Hey, I believe any visa that is still valid should remain like that, but I suggest you reach out to the consulate to confirm it, just in case
