After the payment of the fee, the applicant will receive an email confirming the status of the application, indicating whether the application was approved, rejected, or if additional documentation is required.
Once the application is approved, the applicant will receive a PDF file with the eVisa by email.
3. After that, it will be necessary to download, print, and present the electronic visa upon departure and arrival in Brazil.
🌍This visa is valid for which countries?

📆 How long can tourists stay in Brazil?
The visa for tourists from these countries will be required for those entering Brazil by air, sea, or land. The stay cannot exceed 90 days.
✅Who needs a visa?
Brazil requires a visa for people from over 60 nationalities to make a simple visit to the country.
🌍 Among them are: Angola, Saudi Arabia, China, Cuba, Egypt, India, Iran, and Iraq.
There are other nationalities that can enter Brazil without a visa, but for stays of up to 30, 60, or 90 days, depending on the country of origin.
