Brazil does not currently offer an eVisa for most nationalities. However, there was a temporary eVisa system for citizens of certain countries, like the United States, Canada, Japan, and Australia, which allowed for easier application online. This eVisa was suspended in 2020 as part of Brazil’s decision to revert to traditional visa processing for many countries.

Current Visa Requirements for Brazil:

• Tourist Visa: Citizens from countries that previously required a visa to enter Brazil must now apply for a traditional visa at a Brazilian consulate.
• Visa Exemptions: Citizens from many countries, such as those from the European Union, the United States, and several Latin American countries, do not require a visa for short stays (up to 90 days) for tourism or business purposes.

How to Apply for a Brazil Visa (If Required):

1. Determine Visa Type: Depending on the purpose of your visit, you will need to apply for the appropriate visa (tourist, business, etc.).
2. Application Process:
   • Complete the visa application form on the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website or at a consulate.
   • Provide supporting documents like a valid passport, photographs, and proof of financial means.
3. Visa Issuance: Submit your application and wait for processing, which may take several days to a few weeks, depending on the visa type and country of application.

For the most current information and to determine if Brazil has reintroduced an eVisa system, it’s recommended to check the official website of the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs or consult your nearest Brazilian consulate.
