Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit India?

Brazilian ordinary passport holders need an India e-Tourist Visa (e-Visa) before travel. Apply online; no visa-free or visa-on-arrival entry is available. A Brazilian citizen holding an ordinary passport cannot enter India visa-free or on arrival for tourism. Brazil is on India's list of e-Visa eligible nationalities, so the standard route is the e-Tourist Visa (e-TV), applied for entirely online at the Government of India's official portal (indianvisaonline.gov.in) before departure. Three sub-categories exist: a 30-day single/double-entry visa, a 1-year multiple-entry visa, and a 5-year multiple-entry visa; the 1-year and 5-year visas permit a maximum continuous stay of up to 180 days per visit. The passport must be valid at least six months with two blank pages, and applicants upload a passport bio-page scan and a recent photo. Processing typically takes 3–5 business days; apply at least 4 days before travel. The current official fee for Brazil (per the fee table dated 20 Feb 2026) is US$10 for the 30-day visa during April–June (US$25 July–March), US$40 for 1 year, and US$200 for 5 years, plus a 3% bank charge. e-Visa entry is permitted only through designated airports and seaports.
