Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit BW?

Brazilian ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourism in Botswana. They may enter visa-free and stay up to 90 days within a 365-day period. As of 2026-05-31, holders of an ordinary Brazilian passport enjoy visa-free entry to Botswana for tourism and short visits. The permitted stay is up to 90 days within any 365-day (rolling 12-month) period. No advance application, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival is required for nationals of visa-exempt countries like Brazil; travelers simply present a valid passport and complete an arrival/declaration card at the port of entry. The passport should be valid for at least 6 months on the date of arrival and contain at least one blank page for the entry stamp. Botswana does operate an eVisa portal (evisa.gov.bw) and a sticker-visa system, but these apply only to nationals who are NOT on the visa-exempt list; Brazilians do not need to use them for short tourist stays. Note Botswana is in southern Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules are irrelevant. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required only if arriving from or transiting a country with risk of yellow fever transmission. Travelers should carry proof of onward/return travel and sufficient funds, as immigration officers may request them. Overstaying the 90-day allowance can lead to fines or being declared a prohibited immigrant, so monitor the cumulative days used across the rolling year.
