Brazilian e-Visa for Tourists from USA, Canada, and Australia

The Brazilian Government has resumed the visa requirement for tourists from United States, Canada and Australia, starting on April 10, 2025. The visa requirement was reinstated by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in 2023, reversing the law made by Jair Bolsonaro Government.

Principle of Reciprocity: The decision to resume the visa requirement was made considering the principle of reciprocity, as Brazilians need visas to travel to these countries.
