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.
