How to Get a Brazil Tourist Visa for U.S. Citizens

Thinking about exploring Brazil’s beaches, rainforests, or Carnival celebrations? As a U.S. citizen, you’ll need to apply for a tourist visa before your trip.

Brazil requires all U.S. passport holders to obtain a visa in advance—even for short visits. This can be done online through Brazil’s e-visa system or via a consulate. Be prepared with:

  • A passport valid for 6+ months beyond your trip

  • A recent passport photo

  • Proof of travel arrangements (like flight and hotel)

  • Completed visa application

Processing times vary depending on the consulate, so apply early. Brazil does not currently issue visas on arrival for U.S. travelers.
