Brazil Visa Guideline

To obtain a Brazil visa, you'll generally need a valid passport, a completed application form, a passport-sized photo, proof of onward travel, and financial proof, among other documents. The specific requirements can vary based on your nationality and the purpose of your visit. It's crucial to determine the correct visa type (e.g., visitor visa, work visa) and gather all necessary documents accordingly. 

General Requirements:

• Passport: Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay in Brazil, with at least two blank pages.

• Application Form: Complete the online Brazil visa application form accurately.

• Photograph: Provide a recent passport-sized photo (3.5 x 4.5 cm) with a white background.

• Proof of Onward Travel: Submit a copy of your return or onward ticket.

• Financial Proof: Demonstrate sufficient funds to cover your stay, such as bank statements or salary slips.

• Visa Fee Payment: Pay the applicable visa application fee.

• Additional Documents: Depending on your visa type and nationality, you may need to provide additional documents such as a letter of invitation (for business or family visits), a work contract, or proof of enrollment in an educational institution.

Specific Visa Types:

• Visitor Visa (VIVIS):
  For tourism, business trips, or transit, with a maximum stay of 90 days, unless you are from a country eligible for a long-duration VIVIS (which can exceed 90 days). 

• Work Visa:
  Requires approval from the Ministry of Labour, a work contract, and other documents related to the hiring company. 

• Family Reunion Visa:
  Requires proof of family relationship (birth certificate, marriage certificate, etc.). 

• Student Visa:
  Requires a letter of enrollment from the educational institution. 

Important Considerations:

• Minors:
  If you are a minor, you may need to provide a birth certificate or proof of guardianship, and the visa application form may need to be signed by both parents. 

• Consular Processing:
  Allow sufficient time for the Brazilian consulate or embassy to process your application, as it can take up to 10 business days after submission. 

• Additional Documents:
  Some applicants may be required to submit additional documents on a case-by-case basis.
