Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit AT?

Q: How long can I stay?

Up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period, counted across all Schengen countries combined, not just Austria.

Q: What documents do I need at the border?

A valid passport, return/onward ticket, proof of accommodation, sufficient funds and ideally travel medical insurance. Border officers may ask to see these.

Q: How valid must my passport be?

It must be valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen Area and have been issued within the last 10 years.

Q: Can I work in Austria on this visa-free entry?

No. Visa-free entry covers tourism, business meetings, and family visits without gainful employment. Work requires a separate residence/work permit.

No visa required. Brazilian ordinary passport holders can enter Austria (Schengen Area) visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. ETIAS is not yet in force as of 30 May 2026. Brazil holds a visa-waiver agreement with the European Union, so ordinary Brazilian passport holders travel to Austria and the wider Schengen Area without a visa for short stays. The limit is 90 days in any rolling 180-day period, counted across all Schengen countries combined, and the purpose must be tourism, business, family visit or similar non-gainful activity. The amended EU-Brazil visa waiver agreement entered into force on 1 March 2026, reconfirming this 90/180 rule. The EU's ETIAS travel authorisation, which will eventually require Brazilians to obtain an online pre-travel permit (around EUR 20, valid 3 years), is NOT yet operational: it is expected to start in the last quarter of 2026 with a transitional period, and will not become a boarding condition until at least April 2027. Therefore, as of 30 May 2026, a Brazilian tourist needs only a valid passport and supporting documents at the border, with no visa and no ETIAS.
