Brazil has officially launched a platform through which citizens of the United States, Canada, and Australia can obtain their electronic visa (eVisa) to enter the country. Travelers from these countries will need a visa to enter Brazil by air starting January 10, 2024.

The electronic visa will allow multiple entries and will have the same validity period as conventional visas. For Americans, this means a validity of 10 years (five years each for Canadians and Australians).

Travelers will have to input their personal information and confirmation of a flight reservation and pay a fee of $80 to secure the visa, all of which is done online. Once approved, a PDF file containing your eVisa will be emailed to you. Download and print this eVisa for presentation during boarding and upon landing in Brazil. Tip: The Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommends keeping a copy of the eVisa file on your phone. It also recommends registering for a visa if you’re traveling within a few days prior to January 10 in the event that your flight or other travels are delayed.
