Tourist Visa & Visit Visa - Brazil

A Brazil Tourist Visa allows foreign nationals to visit Brazil for leisure, sightseeing, and short-term cultural experiences. Ideal for travelers eager to explore Brazil’s beautiful beaches, the Amazon rainforest, and vibrant cities like Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, this visa opens the door to Brazil’s rich cultural heritage and natural wonders. The visa is typically valid for up to 1 year with multiple entries permitted, while each individual stay cannot exceed 90 days. Travelers may also request an extension once while in Brazil, subject to approval by Brazilian immigration authorities.

 

Processing times for the Brazil Tourist Visa generally range from 5 to 10 working days, so it’s recommended to apply at least 30 days before your intended travel date to avoid delays. Applicants should also ensure that all supporting documents not in English or Portuguese are accompanied by an official translation if requested by the consulate. With the right preparation, securing a Brazil Tourist Visa from India or elsewhere can be a smooth process, giving you the freedom to experience Brazil’s incredible landscapes, culture, and hospitality.
