Canada to Brazil visa requirements
Canadian ordinary passport holders need an electronic visitor visa (e-Visa) to enter Brazil for tourism or short visits. Visa-free travel ended on 10 April 2025. As of 10 April 2025, Brazil requires Canadian ordinary passport holders to obtain an electronic visitor visa (e-Visa) before travelling for tourism, business, transit or other short visits. The e-Visa is applied for online through Brazil's official eVisa portal at brazil.vfsevisa.com; Brazil's MRE pages list the official fee as US$80.90. For Canadian passport holders, the e-Visa is multiple-entry and valid for 5 years, with stays of up to 90 days per entry. Travellers who need to remain beyond the authorized stay must request an extension from Brazil's Federal Police before the stay expires; the common visitor cap remains up to 180 days in a 12-month period. Official guidance describes issuance as about 5 business days, while the eVisa portal warns processing can take up to 10 business days once a completed application is submitted, so apply several weeks before departure. A Canadian regular passport must be valid for the duration of stay. Brazil does not require proof of yellow fever vaccination for entry, but vaccination is recommended for many itineraries in Brazil. On arrival, officials may ask for proof of onward/return travel and sufficient funds. Travellers must also follow Receita Federal rules for baggage quotas and declare cash over US$10,000 or equivalent.
