India to Brazil visa requirements

Indian ordinary passport holders need a visa before traveling to Brazil for tourism. For tourism, Brazil does not offer visa-free entry, visa-on-arrival, or a tourist eVisa to Indian citizens; apply for a consular VIVIS visitor visa through Brazil's e-consular/RER process and the Brazilian mission with jurisdiction. Brazil requires Indian ordinary passport holders to obtain a visitor visa (VIVIS) before traveling for tourism. The Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs visa-regime chart lists India as visa-required for ordinary-passport visits, and Indian official travel advice also states that Indian passport holders require a valid visa, at least six months of passport validity, and a return ticket. Tourist travel is handled through the consular VIVIS process: complete the online application/RER, schedule through e-consular, and submit documents to the Embassy of Brazil in New Delhi or the Consulate-General in Mumbai according to jurisdiction. New Delhi's e-consular notice says visa processing may take 10-15 business days due to demand, so travelers should apply early. A separate business e-visa category exists for eligible Indian business travelers, but it is not a tourist eVisa and does not remove the tourist visa requirement. A VIVIS tourist stay is normally up to 90 days per entry and may be extended within Brazil subject to the usual 180-day annual limit. Yellow fever vaccination is strongly recommended for Brazil; Indian official advice says Brazilian authorities may not ask for the certificate, but it is mandatory for re-entry into India.
