Egypt to Brazil visa requirements

Egyptian ordinary passport holders need a visa before traveling to Brazil for tourism. Egypt is not on Brazil's visa-exempt list and is not eligible for the Brazil e-visa (that scheme covers only US, Canadian and Australian tourists). You must apply for a Visitor Visa (VIVIS) in advance at a Brazilian embassy/consulate. Brazil does not grant visa-free entry to Egyptian ordinary passport holders. There is no visa-on-arrival and no e-visa pathway for Egyptians — Brazil's electronic visa applies only to citizens of the United States, Canada and Australia for tourism. Egyptian travelers must obtain a Visitor Visa (Visto de Visita, type VIVIS) from a Brazilian diplomatic mission before departure. The process begins with an online form on Brazil's Ministry of Foreign Affairs e-consular system, followed by submitting the passport and supporting documents (financial proof, return ticket, accommodation, photo) to the Brazilian Embassy in Cairo. The visitor visa permits tourist stays of up to 90 days per entry, extendable once for another 90 days, within a 180-day-per-year limit. The visa is typically multiple-entry with validity that can reach several years at the consulate's discretion, though tourist stays remain capped at 90+90 days. Apply at least 3-6 weeks before travel; the standard consular fee for Egyptian nationals is around USD 80 (no reciprocity surcharge applies to Egypt). Passport must be valid for at least 6 months with a blank page. Always confirm current document lists and fees directly with the Brazilian Embassy in Cairo, as requirements can change.
