Australian passport holders need an eVisa to visit Brazil for tourism. Visa-free entry ended on 10 April 2025; apply online before you travel. As of 10 April 2025, Brazil reinstated visa requirements for Australian, Canadian and US nationals, ending the previous visa-free arrangement. Australian ordinary passport holders must now obtain a Brazilian electronic visa (eVisa) before traveling for tourism, business, transit, or short visits. The eVisa is applied for entirely online through the official VFS Global portal (brazil.vfsevisa.com), with a government fee of USD 80.90. For Australians the eVisa is issued for 5 years with multiple entries, permitting stays of up to 90 days per visit and a maximum cumulative stay of 180 days within any 12-month period. Processing typically takes around 5 business days. The approved eVisa is delivered as a PDF by email; travelers should carry a printed copy to present when boarding and on arrival. There is no visa-on-arrival option, so the eVisa must be secured before departure.
