Israel to Brazil visa requirements

Q: How long can I stay in Brazil?

Up to 90 days within a rolling 180-day period. You may request an extension from the Federal Police for a further 90 days, up to 180 days per year.

Q: Is an eVisa required for Israelis?

No. Brazil's eVisa requirement applies to certain other nationalities (such as US, Canadian, and Australian passport holders); Israeli citizens remain visa-exempt as of mid-2026.

Q: Does ETIAS or the Schengen 90/180 rule apply?

No. Brazil is in South America and is not part of the Schengen Area, so ETIAS and the EU Schengen rules do not apply. Brazil has its own separate 90/180 visa-free allowance.

Q: What documents should I carry on arrival?

A valid passport (6 months recommended), a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation, and evidence of sufficient funds. A yellow fever certificate is needed for risk areas.

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

No. The visa exemption is only for tourism, business meetings, transit, and similar short visits. Paid employment requires an appropriate work visa.

Israeli passport holders travel to Brazil visa-free for tourism, up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Israeli ordinary passport holders do not need a visa for tourism, business, or short visits to Brazil. Under a long-standing reciprocal visa-waiver arrangement, they may enter visa-free and stay up to 90 days within a rolling 180-day period; the stay can typically be extended once by the Federal Police for a further 90 days, up to a maximum of 180 days per year. Brazil is not part of the Schengen Area, so no ETIAS or Schengen rule applies. No eVisa is required for Israeli nationals as of mid-2026. Travelers must hold a passport valid for the duration of stay (6 months recommended), proof of onward/return travel, and evidence of sufficient funds. Always confirm the latest status before travel, as airlines verify documents at check-in.
