Brazil Visa for US Citizens
US citizens need a visa for Brazil again since April 2025. Here’s how the e-Visa works.
US citizens need a visa for Brazil again. Since April 10, 2025, US citizens visiting Brazil for tourism or business need a visa. For most short trips this is an e-Visa, applied for online through Brazil’s official e-Visa platform, run by VFS Global.

Work, study and long stays
Working, studying or living in Brazil needs a temporary visa issued by a Brazilian consulate, not an e-Visa. The documents depend on your situation, for example an employment contract, a school acceptance letter or proof of income. Call us and we’ll confirm which visa you need and what the consulate currently asks for.
