Brazil to India visa requirements

Brazilian ordinary passport holders need an Indian visa before travel. The usual tourism route is the official e-Tourist Visa online; no visa-free or visa-on-arrival entry is available. Brazilian ordinary passport holders cannot enter India visa-free or on arrival for tourism. Brazil is on India's e-Visa eligible-nationality list, and the Embassy of India in Brasilia confirms e-Visa is available to nationals of Brazil, so the usual tourist route is the e-Tourist Visa (e-TV) through the official Government of India portal at indianvisaonline.gov.in before departure. The official 20 February 2026 e-Tourist fee table lists Brazil at USD 10 for a 30-day e-TV in April-June, USD 25 for a 30-day e-TV in July-March, USD 40 for a 1-year e-TV, and USD 200 for a 5-year e-TV, plus a 3% bank charge. The 30-day e-TV is valid for 30 days from first arrival and is double-entry within its validity; 1-year and 5-year e-Tourist Visas are multiple-entry, and the maximum stay in India during one calendar year must not exceed 180 days. Apply at least 4 days before arrival: the 30-day tourist category can be requested up to 30 days ahead, while 1-year/5-year tourist and most other e-Visa categories can be requested up to 120 days ahead. The passport must have at least six months validity at application time and two blank pages, and travellers should hold a return/onward ticket and sufficient funds. Applicants over 9 months old using the Brazil mission route must provide a valid yellow fever vaccination card taken at least 10 days before travel and carry the original when travelling. Foreign nationals and OCI cardholders must also complete India's free e-Arrival Card online within 72 hours before arrival. e-Visa entry is allowed only through the designated e-Visa entry points listed by India; other purposes or ineligible cases require a regular/paper visa through an Indian mission.
