Australia to Brazil visa requirements

Australian ordinary passport holders need a Brazil eVisa before travelling for tourism, business, transit or other short visits. There is no visa-on-arrival. Brazil reinstated visitor-visa requirements for Australian, Canadian and U.S. nationals on 10 April 2025. Australian ordinary passport holders must obtain an electronic visitor visa (eVisa) before travelling to Brazil for tourism, business meetings, transit, sport or artistic activities, or other short visits. Apply only through Brazil's official eVisa portal at brazil.vfsevisa.com; the eVisa is issued electronically, costs USD 80.90, is multiple entry, and is normally valid for 5 years for Australian passport holders. The eVisa allows stays of up to 90 days; the Brazilian Federal Police handles any extension request, and Agência Brasil states the total stay must not exceed 180 days within a 12-month period. VFS currently says consular posts may take up to 10 business days after a complete verified application is submitted and strongly advises applying two months before travel. The eVisa is not a visa-on-arrival: if you arrive without the required visa, Brazilian authorities can send you back on the next available flight. Carry your passport, a printed eVisa PDF, proof of onward or return travel, accommodation and funds, and check health and customs formalities before departure.
