Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit BA?

No visa required. Brazilian ordinary passport holders can enter Bosnia and Herzegovina visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Brazil holds a long-standing visa-waiver arrangement with Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ordinary Brazilian passport holders may enter visa-free for tourism, family visits, business or transit and stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Bosnia and Herzegovina is NOT a member of the Schengen Area and is NOT part of the EU, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and the upcoming EU ETIAS authorization do not apply to a trip to Bosnia (any days spent in Bosnia are separate from the Schengen allowance). No electronic travel authorization or pre-registration is required before departure. Travelers should hold a passport valid beyond the stay (Bosnia officially requires validity of at least three months past the planned departure date, though many sources advise six months to satisfy airline and onward-travel checks), proof of accommodation, sufficient funds, and a return/onward ticket. Travel medical insurance is recommended and may be requested at the border. Those staying in private accommodation for three or more days must register with the local police (Service for Foreigners' Affairs) within 48 hours of arrival; hotels handle this registration automatically for their guests. This status was verified on 2026-05-30 against the Bosnia and Herzegovina visa policy and the U.S. Department of State country information page; no 2024-2026 changes affect Brazilian nationals.
