Brazil eVisa for Canadian citizens

This is an important update for Canadians planning to travel to Brazil: the introduction of the eVisa requirement has been postponed to 2025.

Understanding visa requirements is essential when planning your travels. This blog is written for Canadians and provides key information about the Brazil eVisa.

We’ll explain when you'll need a Brazil eVisa and how to apply for one. Let’s get started.

Do Canadian citizens need a Brazil eVisa?

Canadian citizens with ordinary passports can visit Brazil without a visa until April 10, 2025. After this date, they will need an eVisa.

This recent update from the Brazilian government is the third delay of the eVisa requirement for nationals from Canada, Australia, and the USA. Initially set to start on October 1, 2023, the requirement was first postponed to January 10, 2024, and then to April 10, 2024.

Canadians traveling to Brazil before this new deadline will not need a visa, even if their stay extends past April 10, 2025. The upcoming eVisa will be required for tourism, business, or transit reasons. It will be valid for five years, allow multiple entries, and permit stays of up to 90 days per visit.
