List of countries that do not need a visa to enter Brazil

We made for you a list of countries that do not need a visa to visit Brazil!

After all, before coming to Brazil it’s necessary to prepare yourself so you don’t have unnecessary unforeseen events. In addition to the list, we also answered some common questions about the topic.

And if you want assistance from our specialized legal team, click here to access the service area to request.

Is it possible to enter Brazil without a visa?

Yes, it’s possible to enter Brazil without a visa in some cases, as some countries have Visa waiver by the Brazilian Government. This happens because Brazil applies reciprocity in terms of visas. In other words, if a foreign country requires a visa from Brazilians, Brazil will also require it from the citizens of that country.

What is the Visa Waiver Program for Brazil?

The Visa Waiver Program for Brazil is the opportunity given by the Brazilian Government for the entry of certain foreign citizens occur without the need for a visa.

Therefore, the concession takes place after an agreement made between Brazil and a particular country. That is, with the visa waiver, some foreigners can come to Brazil using only their passport. The main example on the list of countries that do not need a visa to enter Brazil are MERCOSUR and border countries.

Who can enter Brazil without a visa?

In principle, the permission to enter Brazil without a visa depends on the reciprocity that Brazil has with the respective foreign countries. That is: countries that do not require visas from Brazilians. In addition, MERCOSUR and border countries also allow entry without a visa.

Furthermore, the exemption list is very extensive and changes all the time. So it’s important to check the visa waiver or requirement status beforehand so that you can plan your trip in advance.

Why do some countries not need a visa to enter Brazil?

Some countries do not need a visa because Brazil maintains a diplomatic principle of reciprocity. Thus, in general, if Brazilian citizens are not required to have a visa to enter a country, nationals of that country can also enter Brazil without a visa. However, there are exceptions.

The list of countries that do not need a visa to enter Brazil is constantly changing

It’s important to note that the list of countries that do not need a visa to enter Brazil is constantly changing. That is, it’s possible that Brazil today requires a visa for a particular country, but when you read this text, that has already changed and vice versa. So, check the list in advance before your trip to avoid any problems.

Below, we list for you the countries that Brazil does not require a visa, with the list updated in September 2022.

Where can I find the most up-to-date list?

The most up-to-date list can be consulted on the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The board with the list is more complex to read. So we try to update it at the end of each month here in this publication.
