Apply for your visa to travel to Brazil

What you need to know to travel to Brazil with an electronic visa (eVisa)

The Brazil electronic visa (eVisa) is the official travel authorization issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for tourism, business or transit purposes. This document allows for a streamlined entry process, eliminating the need to visit physical consulates or embassies. Features of the eVisa managed by MyTripVisa:

Validity: The eVisa linked to your passport has an extended validity of 5 years (for Australian and Canadian citizens) or 10 years (for US citizens). You will need to apply for a new one if your passport expires before then.

Stay: Allows a maximum stay of 90 days per year (with the possibility of requesting an extension at the Brazilian Federal Police once there, not exceeding 180 days total per year).

Entries: This is a multiple-entry visa. You may enter and exit the country as many times as needed while the document remains valid.

Print requirement: It is mandatory to print the eVisa approval sent by MyTripVisa and present it in paper form along with your physical passport, both when checking in with the airline and upon arrival at immigration control in Brazil.

Which nationalities are exempt from a visa?

Brazil applies a strict diplomatic reciprocity policy. As a result, the vast majority of Western countries do not require any type of visa for short stays of tourism or business (up to 90 days).

Visa-exempt (Up to 90 days): Citizens of Spain, all European Union countries, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia and the rest of Spanish-speaking Latin American countries (except Cuba and Haiti).

Required to apply for the eVisa: Citizens with passports from the United States, Canada and Australia must mandatorily apply for this electronic visa before travelling. Notice for other nationalities: If your passport does not belong to the European Union or to countries exempt by bilateral agreement, or if you are a citizen of the USA, Canada or Australia, you must obtain a visa. At MyTripVisa we simplify this process with streamlined forms, expert document review and high-precision automated support to guarantee your approval.

What vaccinations are mandatory to travel to Brazil?

No vaccinations are mandatory to enter Brazil. However, a vaccination certificate proving yellow fever vaccination is required if you are travelling from or transiting through a country with transmission risk, or if your next destination requires it.

Vaccines against yellow fever (for visiting risk areas such as the Amazon or Iguazu), tetanus, typhoid fever and hepatitis A are recommended. For this reason, it is advisable to visit an international vaccination centre in advance, where a doctor can provide personalised recommendations based on your medical history.

What is the best time of year to visit Brazil?

By region and destination

• Rio de Janeiro and the South: May to October is ideal. Days are sunny and clear (perfect for the beaches), but temperatures are cooler and more pleasant (between 20°C and 26°C), avoiding the sweltering summer heat.

• The Amazon: The best time is from July to October (the “dry” season). Although it still rains, water levels drop, allowing for more jungle treks and fewer mosquitoes.

• The Pantanal: May to September is the dry season. The water recedes and animals concentrate around the remaining lagoons, making it the prime time of year for spotting jaguars, capybaras and birds.

• The Northeast (Salvador de Bahia, Recife, Fernando de Noronha): Avoid the months of April to July, when rainfall is heaviest. The perfect period runs from September to February, with spectacular beach weather.

By atmosphere and events

• High Season (December to March): Coincides with the austral summer. It is the time of Carnival and New Year’s Eve. The country fills with festivities, music and radiant heat, but it is also the most expensive and crowded time of the year.

• Mid Season (April and September to November): Offers the best balance. Flight and accommodation prices are more moderate, there are fewer tourists at iconic spots and the weather remains excellent for exploring both cities and natural environments.

What are the main places to visit in Brazil?

Brazil is a continental-sized destination that stands out for its incredible contrast between vibrant metropolises, idyllic beaches and some of the most awe-inspiring ecosystems on the planet.

To plan an attractive itinerary or advise travellers, these are the five unmissable destinations that capture the true essence of the country:

Rio de Janeiro: The “Cidade Maravilhosa”

No trip to Brazil is complete without visiting the city that fuses urban energy with overflowing tropical nature.

• Must-see: Climbing Corcovado Hill to admire the iconic Christ the Redeemer (one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World), taking the cable car to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain at sunset, and strolling along the seafront of the legendary beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema.
• Ideal for: Lovers of culture, nightlife, samba and iconic coastal landscapes.

Foz do Iguaçu: A shared natural wonder

Located on the border with Argentina, the Iguazu Falls form one of the most spectacular and powerful waterfall systems in the world, surrounded by lush subtropical rainforest.

• Must-see: Walking the boardwalks on the Brazilian side for the best panoramic views of the 275 falls and venturing onto the thrilling walkway overlooking the Devil’s Throat.
• Ideal for: Travellers seeking to connect with the power of nature and landscape photography.

Salvador de Bahia: The cultural and historical heart

Salvador is the cradle of Afro-Brazilian culture. It stands out for its street music, capoeira, unique gastronomy and a colourful colonial heritage.

• Must-see: Getting lost among the baroque and pastel-coloured facades of the historic Pelourinho neighbourhood (UNESCO World Heritage Site), visiting the dazzling Church of Saint Francis and tasting the traditional acarajé prepared by the baianas.
• Ideal for: Enthusiasts of history, colonial architecture, music and cultural tourism.

The Amazon (Manaus): Expedition to the green lung

The state of Amazonas offers the opportunity to venture into the largest tropical rainforest on the planet and navigate the longest and most powerful river in the world.

• Must-see: Using the city of Manaus as a base to stay in an eco-lodge in the heart of the jungle, go on night-time caiman spotting tours, encounter pink river dolphins up close and witness the natural phenomenon of the “Meeting of the Waters” (where the Negro and Solimões rivers flow together without mixing for kilometres).
• Ideal for: Intrepid travellers, ecotourism enthusiasts and wildlife watchers.

Lençóis Maranhenses National Park: An out-of-this-world landscape

Located in the northeast of the country, it is one of the most unusual deserts on Earth. During the rainy season, this vast territory of white sand dunes fills with thousands of turquoise and emerald freshwater lagoons.

• Must-see: Taking a 4×4 excursion across the dunes and swimming in the crystal-clear waters of temporary lagoons such as Lagoa Azul or Lagoa Bonita.
• Ideal for: Travellers seeking exclusive destinations, unique desert landscapes and untouched nature off the most crowded routes.

To travel and discover the most incredible landscapes in Brazil, an electronic visa is essential. At MyTripVisa we process your Brazil eVisa quickly so you can organise your trip with complete peace of mind.
