Passport holders in Australia, Canada and the US will immediately require a valid Brazilian visa or EVISA.
Key Points:
As reported by BAL, the Brazilian government last year postponed visa requirements for Australia, Canada and US citizens. These citizens, valid at midnight on April 10, 2025, require a visa for their trip to Brazil, regardless of the purpose of the trip. For more information about EVISA options and application procedures, please visit the Brazilian government-authorized website.
Additional Information: Citizens of these countries do not need to apply for a new EVISA if they already have a valid physical visa. Officials are recommending that you apply for EVISA for future trips as soon as possible to avoid any travel disruptions that may occur. Employers should be aware of new EVISA requirements for employees entering Brazil for business purposes.
