Frequently Asked Questions about Brazil visa
  • Do I need to come to the Consulate to apply for Brazilian e-visa or to pick it up?
    No. The whole process is very convenient and the the applicant obtains the e-visa remotely.
  • How long can I stay in Brazil?
    All visa holders, regardless of nationality or visa validity date, may only stay in Brazil for up to 90 days a year, unless otherwise noted on the visa. An extension of the original 90 days may be granted by the Federal Police Department in Brazil, yet total stay cannot exceed 180 days a year, unless otherwise noted.
  • Do I need to get a Yellow Fever vaccine?
    Consult your primary care physician. Keep in mind that the vaccine should be taken at least 10 days prior to departure.

    As of May 2010, Brazil does not require a yellow fever International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis to enter the country. Yellow fever vaccination is recommended for travelers who plan to visit the following Brazilian states:

     •   Acre
     •   Amapá
     •   Amazonas
     •   Distrito Federal
     •   Goiás
     •   Maranhão
     •   Mato Grosso
     •   Mato Grosso do Sul
     •   Minas Gerais
     •   Pará
     •   Rondonia
     •   Roraima
     •   Tocantins

    In addition to these, it is also recommended for travelers going to the west and south of Bahia, the north of Espírito Santo, the west of Paraná, the south of Piauí, the northwest of São Paulo, as well as the west of the states of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul.

    Keep in mind that most of the coast of Brazil is not a risk area for yellow fever, except for the north of Espírito Santo and the south of Bahia."
  • If my visa is still valid, but my passport has expired, what do I do?
    If your Brazilian visa is still valid and your passport expires, you can get a new passport (from the authorities of your country) and carry both the new (valid) passport and the old one (with the visa) when you travel to Brazil.
  • For how long is my visa valid?
    Long-duration visas (valid for 5 or 10 years, for instance) are valid from the day they were issued. Short-duration visas (valid for 30 or 90 days, for example) are valid from the date of first entry into Brazil.

    Basic health information for travelers to Brazil
    • A yellow fever vaccination is required if travelling from or through a country suffering from the disease. Travellers entering Brazil from non infected regions are instructed to consider obtaining protection from the disease regardless.
    • There is a high risk of Malaria throughout the year in many rural locations below 900m. Areas where the disease is most active include the nine states of the Legal Amazonia region Acre, Amapá, Amazonas, Maranhão (western part), Mato Grosso (northern part), Pará (except Belém City), Rondônia, Roraima and Tocantins. Cases of the disease are less reported in more urban areas and main cities such as Pôrto Velho, Boa Vista, Macapá, Manaus, Santarém and Maraba. The disease is generally found in areas where heavy mining and agriculture is taking place but travellers staying in other areas are still strongly advised to take care to avoid any potential risk of infection.
    • Other insect based diseases found throughout Brazil include Dengue Fever, recent outbreaks of which have been reported from the states of Amazonas, Acre, Ceara, Minas Gerais, Espirito Santo, Parana, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Alagoas, Rio Grande do Sul, and Rio Grande do Norte. Confirmed cases of visceral leishmaniasis and Oropouche Fever have also been noted throughout the country in isolated regions and all travellers should seek out medical attention if infected by any of these diseases.
    • Hepatitis B is also present throughout the entire region and all visitors are instructed to take great care when dealing with bloody or infected needles or if engaging in sexual activity during the course of their visit.
    • Rabies is also present in the bites from wild or infected animals throughout the country and any traveller bitten by these creatures should clean the wound before immediately seeking out medical assistance before serious symptoms develop.
    Basic security information for travelers to Brazil
    • Brazil is a country which currently has a higher than average level of crime and all travellers are strongly advised to take great care when out in busy public locations. Instances of kidnappings and violent assaults are common in Rio and other main cities throughout the country and visitors are urged to avoid public displays of affluence which could potentially attract unwanted attention. Sexual assaults are a possibility and female visitors should take special care if travelling alone after dark.
    • Storms, flash flooding, and landslides are common in the wet season between December and March and all foreign drivers inside the country during this period are urged to avoid driving in potentially hazardous weather conditions.
    • Drug trafficking is widespread throughout Brazil and penalties for any drug related activities are severe. All travellers should take great care to avoid any participation in drugs related activity which could bring them to the attention of the police.
  • Contact Customs Authorities
    For further assistance please contact the Brazilian Customs authorities directly. They will provide the latest information about customs regulations and export-import procedures.
