What is the Brazil Tourist e-Visa?
The Brazil Tourist e-Visa is an electronic visa for travelers from countries that require a visa to visit Brazil. It allows stays of up to 90 days for tourism purposes and can be obtained entirely online without visiting an embassy or consulate.
Once approved, the e-Visa is linked to your passport electronically. Print your confirmation to present at immigration upon arrival in Brazil. The visa is valid for 2 years with multiple entries, making it perfect for travelers who want to return multiple times.

American here - so glad the e-Visa is available now! Used to be such a hassle with the embassy. DoVisa made the application process so smooth. Brazil is incredible - Rio exceeded all expectations!
Is Carnival worth the crowds? Planning a trip but worried about safety.
Iguazu Falls from the Brazilian side is UNREAL. The helicopter tour is expensive but worth every penny. Standing on the walkway with falls surrounding you... life-changing. Got my visa through DoVisa and it was seamless!
Quick tip: get the 99 app (like Uber) - it's cheaper and works everywhere in Brazil. Learn a few Portuguese phrases too - people really appreciate the effort!
Spent 3 weeks in the Amazon from Manaus. Absolutely incredible wildlife - pink dolphins, monkeys, piranhas fishing! The jungle lodges are surprisingly comfortable. Make sure to get your visa sorted well in advance.
The 2-year multiple entry validity is amazing! Planning three trips over the next two years - Rio, Amazon, and then Pantanal. One visa covers it all! DoVisa support was great when I had questions.
Salvador is SO underrated. The music, the food, the Afro-Brazilian culture... it's magical. And way more affordable than Rio. Definitely add it to your itinerary!
Do I need yellow fever vaccination for the e-visa application?
The beaches in Florianopolis are incredible and way less crowded than Rio. Highly recommend if you want a more relaxed beach vibe. E-visa through DoVisa was approved quickly!
Canadian here - the e-visa process through DoVisa was so easy. Their support team answered all my questions. Can't wait to visit Rio and see Christ the Redeemer!
The Pantanal is like nowhere else on Earth for wildlife! Jaguars, caimans, capybaras everywhere. If you love nature, it's a must-visit. Plan at least 4-5 days there.
Applied for my whole family through DoVisa - 4 applications managed from one account. Super convenient and all approved! Brazil here we come!
