About the visa

The Brazilian government postponed the visa requirement for U.S. nationals for one year. On April 10, 2025, the Government of Brazil will reinstate a visa requirement for all U.S. nationals visiting Brazil, with an option for an e-visa for qualified applicants. This date reflects a one-year postponement announced on April 9, 2024.

This is why we recommend you to arrive in Brazil between the 4th and 7th of April, so that the visa requirements won’t apply to your arrival.

 

Currently, the visa fee is $80.90 with a 10-year validity. For questions about the e-visa application procedures, visit the Brazilian government-authorized website, https://brazil.vfsevisa.com/
