The Brazilian government has bilateral agreements on visas. This means that nationals of countries that require a visa for Brazilian citizens to enter their territory will also need a visa to travel to Brazil. Brazil has bilateral visa waiver agreements with around 90 countries. To find out if you need a visa to travel to Brazil, click here.

To apply for a visa, the foreign citizen must complete the visa application form, print proof of submission of the form and present it to a consular office in Brazil, together with a valid travel document, proof of payment of consular fees, the international vaccination certificate - if required - and other documents specific to the type of visa requested.

Here you will find specific instructions for the consular office you are interested in.
