Frequently asked questions about getting the France visa with a Brazil passport
Do Brazilian citizens need a visa for France?
No, Brazilian citizens do not need a visa to visit France for tourism or business stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. However, starting in late 2026 or 2027, travelers from Brazil will need to obtain an ETIAS travel authorization before entering France or other Schengen Area countries.
What is the processing time for ETIAS for France for Brazilian citizens?
The ETIAS system has not launched yet, so official processing times have not been confirmed. Most applications are expected to be processed quickly once the system becomes operational. With iVisa, you will be able to apply for the ETIAS for France online and receive expert guidance throughout the application process.
How long can Brazilian citizens stay in France?
Brazilian citizens can currently stay in France and the wider Schengen Area for up to 90 days within a 180-day period for tourism, business, or transit without a visa. Once ETIAS becomes mandatory, travelers will still be able to stay for up to 90 days within a 180-day period under the same conditions.
Do Brazilian citizens need a visa when transiting through France?
Brazilian passport holders generally do not need a visa for airport transit in France if they remain in the international transit area and do not pass through immigration. If you need to leave the airport or enter the Schengen Area during your transit, you must meet the standard entry requirements.
Can Brazilian citizens extend their stay in France?
Short stays in France under visa-free entry or ETIAS authorization cannot usually be extended beyond 90 days within a 180-day period. Travelers who wish to stay longer must apply for a long-stay visa or residence permit issued by French authorities before their permitted stay expires.
