Brazil entry planning for US tourists

Brazil requires visitor visas for US, Canadian and Australian citizens from 10 April 2025, with electronic applications available. An earlier visa-free holiday is not evidence that you can repeat it under the same conditions.

Start at the Brazilian consulate's eVisa page. It identifies the affected passports and links the appointed VFS service. A commercial-domain application site can be legitimate when the government itself directs you there; a logo alone is not proof.

Check purpose, stay, entries, passport details and each family member's documents. The eVisa route described by the consulate is online without a visit or physical document submission to its office. Do not assume one nationality's visa validity or passport instructions apply to another.

Brazilian dual nationals need to read the current nationality-specific guidance, including family travel rules, rather than choosing a foreign passport solely for convenience.
