Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit Spain (Schengen)?

No visa needed. Brazilian ordinary passport holders can enter Spain (and the wider Schengen Area) visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period for tourism. ETIAS is not yet in force (postponed to at least 2027). Spain is part of the Schengen Area, and Brazil holds a visa-waiver agreement with the EU. Brazilian ordinary passport holders may travel to Spain for tourism, business, family visits and transit without a visa for stays of up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period. This was reconfirmed when the amended EU-Brazil visa-waiver agreement entered into force on 1 March 2026. The 90-day limit is shared across ALL Schengen countries, not Spain alone, and is counted on a rolling 180-day basis. On arrival you must satisfy a Schengen border officer: passport valid at least 3 months beyond your planned departure (and issued within the past 10 years), proof of sufficient funds (roughly EUR 122/day, minimum about EUR 1,099 for stays of 9+ days in 2026), proof of onward/return travel, accommodation, and travel medical insurance is strongly advised. The EU's ETIAS travel authorisation, which will eventually require visa-exempt travellers (including Brazilians) to register online and pay a small fee before departure, has been postponed to at least 2027 and is NOT required as of 30 May 2026. Once it launches, a transition/grace period will apply. For now, Brazilians need only a valid passport. To work, study long-term, or stay beyond 90 days, a national (type D) visa from a Spanish consulate is required.
