Brazil Visitor Visa*

This visa, also called the VIVIS, is for individuals visiting Brazil for up to 90 days for tourism, business meetings, transit, or participation in conferences and artistic/sports events. It doesn't allow for remunerated work from a Brazilian source. It’s typically valid for multiple entries over five or 10 years, depending on your nationality.

*We currently don’t offer this visa.

Work and Technical Visas (VITEM V)*

These are for foreign professionals who'll be providing technical assistance or working under a local employment contract. They require prior authorization from the Brazilian Ministry of Labor and Employment. Stays usually exceed 90 days, and the visas are typically valid for up to two years and can be renewed.

*We currently don’t offer these visas.

Student and Research Visas (VITEM IV & I)*

The Student Visas are for those enrolled in regular courses or exchange programs at recognized educational institutions.

Humanitarian and other VITEM Visas*

This group includes visas for humanitarian aid (VITEM III), religious activities (VITEM VII), and voluntary work (VITEM VIII). These are for specific altruistic or institutional purposes and usually require a sponsoring organization in Brazil.

*We currently don’t offer these visas.

Diplomatic (VIDIP) and Official (VISOF) Visas*

These are for foreign government officials and diplomats traveling to Brazil on official missions. They're issued to holders of diplomatic or service passports and are generally free of charge. The validity corresponds to the length of the official mission or the term of the diplomatic posting.

Brazil visa policy

Most foreign nationals, including US citizens, must obtain a visa before traveling to Brazil for tourism, business, study, work, or other purposes. Brazil offers an eVisa service for citizens of the US, Canada, and Australia. Citizens of MERCOSUR countries and nations under the Open Doors 2026 initiative—including China, France, and the UK—do not require a visa for stays up to 30 or 90 days.

Travelers entering Brazil by air aren't currently required to complete a separate digital arrival card, though you must present a printed copy of your eVisa or a valid physical visa sticker at the border.

General Brazil visa requirements are:

Passport valid for at least six months from the date of arrival and at least one blank page
Recent digital photo (5x7 cm) on a plain white background
Travel details (such as flight itinerary and confirmed accommodation address)
Proof of sufficient financial means for the duration of stay (e.g., bank statements)
Additional supporting documents depending on visa type (e.g., business invitation letter for Business Visa or host’s ID for family visits)

"I needed a last minute visa and had to scramble to get one. iVisa got the job done and kept me informed about the status of the visa process which gave me peace of mind. Then they delivered sooner than expected. I would definitely use them again."

"The service was phenomenally quick (got the visa almost immediately!!). A friend who first tried to get her Brazilian visa directly through the government site said you were MUCH superior. The price seems pretty steep -- unless Brazil hassles us and you help us out later. Otherwise, it was just a few minutes' work for your "inspectors.""

"The service was smooth, and communication was excellent far better than Brazil's VSF eVisa. VSF took my payment but never processed the visa or provided proper support. This service was well worth the extra cost."

"The service was very good we didn't pay for the expedited service but still obtained our visas the next day. We expected to wait a couple days, but it was just the next day. The only thing is it is doubled the amount of obtaining a visa through the government website. But also they say you have to wait longer if you are using that website. So all and all it was worth it. We needed the visa asap. IVISA was knowledgeable, easy to use, efficient and quick. We were very happy with them."
