Visa Information
Brazil's visa policy is based on reciprocity, meaning that if a country requires a visa for Brazilian citizens to enter, then citizens of that country also need a visa to enter Brazil.
However, some countries are exempt from this requirement, particularly those within MERCOSUR (South American trade bloc) and its neighbouring countries. Additionally, Brazil has agreements with certain countries that may modify the visa requirements. Therefore, it is essential to research which type of visa best suits your needs before travelling.
