Starting April 10:
Travelers from Australia, Canada, and the United States will need an electronic Visa (e-Visa) to enter Brazil. Travelers can apply for this e-Visa on the official portal of the Brazilian government (https://brazil.vfsevisa.com/). It's recommended to apply at least 7 to 12 days before departure to ensure timely processing. If travelers already possess a valid physical visa in their passport for their visit's purpose, they do not need to apply for a new visa. The e-Visa is valid for ten years for U.S. citizens and five years for Australian and Canadian citizens, and costs approximately $80. More information can be found on the previously linked website.
