Hong Kong (SAR China) to Brazil visa requirements

Q: How long can I stay in Brazil visa-free?

The official HKSAR passport visa-free list and Hong Kong Government confirmation support a stay of up to 90 days.

Q: Can I extend my stay beyond 90 days?

Do not assume an extension is available under the visa-free arrangement. For stays over 90 days, paid work, study, or residence, confirm the correct Brazilian visa or authorization before travel.

Q: Does the Brazil eVisa apply to Hong Kong passport holders?

Eligible Hong Kong SAR ordinary passport holders use the visa-free arrangement for short visits, so an advance Brazil tourist eVisa is not needed for the 90-day visa-free visit.

Q: Can I work in Brazil on a visa-free entry?

No. Visa-free entry is for tourism, transit and unpaid business visits only. Paid work or residence requires an appropriate visa.

Q: What documents should I carry on arrival?

A valid HKSAR passport, a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation, and evidence of sufficient funds. A yellow fever certificate may be advised for certain regions.

Visa-free. Hong Kong ordinary passport holders can enter Brazil without a visa for tourism for up to 90 days per visit. Holders of a Hong Kong SAR ordinary passport do not need a visa to visit Brazil for tourism or short business for up to 90 days. The Hong Kong Immigration Department's HKSAR passport visa-free list, updated on 15 June 2026, lists Brazil at 90 days, and the Hong Kong Government confirmed the bilateral visa-free arrangement entered into force on 22 October 2008. Official sources checked for this update support the 90-day visa-free rule; this guide no longer relies on unsourced 180-day annual-cap or in-country extension language. Travellers should hold a passport valid for the duration of stay, proof of onward/return travel, accommodation details, and evidence of sufficient funds. Visa-free entry is for short visits only and does not permit paid work or residence.
