Get your Brazil eVisa: The best way to apply online
What you need to know
Last updated: March 2025
Visas aren’t exactly exciting. But they’re now part of the deal if you’re heading to Brazil.
We’ve made the Brazil eVisa application process as simple as it should be. It’s online, it’s clear, and it only takes a few minutes to complete. Once you’re done, we’ll handle the rest and send your Brazil eVisa straight to your inbox. That’s one less thing on your list (and one step closer to takeoff).
What is the Brazil eVisa?
The Brazil eVisa is a digital travel document that lets you enter Brazil legally for short stays. It was introduced to make visiting easier for travelers from select countries, especially those coming for tourism, business, family visits, or participating in a sports or cultural event.
The Brazil eVisa doesn’t permit employment, engaging in paid activities, long-term stays, or studies. For this, you’ll need a different visa. To learn more about the various Brazilian visa types, please visit the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website.
Is the Brazil eVisa required for transit?
If you're transiting through Brazil and do not leave the international transit area of the airport, you typically do not need a visa. However, if you plan to pass through immigration or have a layover that requires exiting the transit area, you'll need to obtain an eVisa.
Who needs a Brazil eVisa?
The following nationalities are eligible for a Brazil eVisa:
-
Citizens of the United States
-
Citizens of Canada
-
Citizens of Australia
If you’re not from a country with visa-free access to Brazil and you’re not an American, Canadian, or Australian, then you’ll need to apply for a Visitor Visa from the nearest Brazilian embassy or consulate.
Brazil eVisa requirements: What you need to apply
🧳 For most travelers:
- A passport that’s valid through the end of your trip (with at least two blank visa pages)
- A recent color passport photo with a white background
- A travel itinerary (if you’re arriving by air or sea)
👶 If you’re applying for a minor:
Apart from the requirements listed above, you’ll need:
-
The child’s original birth certificate
-
A signed and notarized authorization letter from both parents
-
Official photo ID or passport copies from both parents
-
If one parent has sole custody, include a notarized court order
-
If one parent is deceased, you’ll need a death certificate
-
If the child has a Brazilian parent, include a signed statement confirming the child isn’t a Brazilian citizen (this applies if they don’t hold a Brazilian birth certificate)
-
If a parent’s name has changed since the birth certificate was issued, include proof of name change (like a marriage certificate or court order)
💼 If you’re applying for business travel:
Apart from the main requirements, you’ll need a letter on a company letterhead, signed by a manager or supervisor. It can come from your employer or the company you’re visiting in Brazil.
The letter should include your name and job title, the reason for your trip, a short description of the business activities you'll be doing while in Brazil, and the name and contact details of the person responsible for the visit.

Why apply for your Brazil eVisa with iVisa
Could you apply on your own through a government portal? Sure. Will it be fast, easy, and clear? Probably not.

Hi Liam,
When you apply with us, prices start at US$150.89 for Standard processing. Rush and Super Rush options are available at a higher rate, depending on how fast you need the visa and your nationality.
Our pricing covers both the government visa fee and our service, which includes 24/7 customer support, document guidance, and an expert review to reduce the risk of rejection.
If you're wondering whether it's worth using iVisa, this short video breaks it down.
Hi Jasmine,
You can apply for the Brazil Tourist eVisa through the official portal. The application involves filling out a form, uploading your documents, and paying the fee.
That said, travelers have reported frequent issues on the government portal, like unclear instructions and frustrating site errors. If you’d rather skip the confusion, you can apply through us. We’ve simplified the form, give you step-by-step guidance on how to upload documents, and review everything before it's submitted to Brazil’s immigration system.
That way, you avoid mistakes and save time.
Hi Peter,
Yes, as a US citizen, you're eligible for the Brazil Tourist eVisa. Brazil reintroduced visa requirements for US, Canadian, and Australian travelers starting April 10, 2025. If you're from one of these three countries, you can apply online without needing to visit an embassy or consulate.
If you live in the US but have a different nationality, the eVisa is unfortunately not an option for you. You’d need to apply for a regular visa at the nearest Brazilian embassy or consulate.

"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.""

Ann Behfar
"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."

Embarking on a journey to Brazil? Understanding the differences between the Brazil eVisa and the Visitor Visa is key to a seamless travel experience.
- Brazil Tourist eVisa: The eVisa is an electronic visa, applied for and received online.
It’s generally processed faster than a traditional visa and valid for shorter stays, perfect for tourists, business trips, or short-term visits. It’s available to citizens of specific countries only as outlined above.
- Brazil Visitor Visa: This is a physical visa stamped in your passport. An interview at the Brazilian Consulate or Embassy may be required. It’s available to a wider range of nationalities.
You can check for which visa you must apply by scrolling up and selecting your nationality and destination.
At iVisa, we make applying for either of these visas simple and quick, so you can dive into the excitement of planning your exciting Brazilian adventure without the paperwork.
Contact the Brazilian Embassy or Consulate near you for more info about transiting in the country and transit visa requirements.
You can use this visa to transit, but other requirements may be in place.
