The Brazilian authorities have the reciprocity policy with respect to
Entry Visa for citizens of different countries and Brazil has agreement for visa
exception with several countries, whose citizens do not need a visa to enter and
stay in Brazil up to 60 or 90 days.
Citizens from all other countries do need a tourist visa to enter in Brazil.
This includes, among others: USA, China, Japan, Russia, Slovak Rep., Czech Rep.,
Hungary, Canada and several more. The tourist visa provides coverage for attending
scientific conferences, seminars, or meetings. Note that tourist visa holders
are not allowed to engage in any paid activity in Brazil, but they can get per-diem
allowances.
AMERICAN CITIZENS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT IT MIGHT TAKE MORE THAN ONE MONTH TO
GET THE VISA IN THEIR CASE. For other citizens, it should usually take a couple
of weeks or less. Both general and more detailed information for citizens of any
country living in the USA can be found in the official Web
page of the CONSULATE GENERAL OF BRAZIL - Boston.
A list of the tourism and business VISA regime for Brazilian citizens in the
different countries is provided below. Since the Brazilian authorities follow
a reciprocity policy with respect to the consular and diplomatic affairs, this
can be used as a guide for the citizens of foreign countries who are interested
in visiting Brazil, also. However, it is mandatory, when planning a travel (either
tourism or business), to confirm the validity of these informations with the travel
agencies and the Brazilian diplomatic representations in the different countries.
In order to request a tourist visa, it is necessary to contact the nearest Brazilian
Consulate. A full official list of the Brazilian Embassies, Consulates, Vice-Consulates,
Delegations, Missions and Offices around the world can be found here.
