South Korea to Brazil visa requirements

South Korean ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa or eVisa for short visits to Brazil. You may enter visa-free for up to 90 days, and a tourist stay can be extended through the Federal Police before expiry up to a total of 180 days per migratory year. As of 20 June 2026, holders of ordinary Republic of Korea passports may travel to Brazil without a visitor visa for short stays. Brazil's QGRV visa-regime table lists South Korea under VIVIS code 8, meaning visitor-visa exemption for up to 90 days, and Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs records the Korea-Brazil visa-abolition agreement as effective since 20 May 2002 for mutual visa-free visits within 90 days. The Korean Consulate-General in Sao Paulo confirms for Korean passport holders that tourist stays may total 180 days in a one-year period when the initial 90 days are extended by another 90 days before expiry; the Brazilian Federal Police extension service currently charges BRL 110.44 for the stay-extension request. No ETA, eVisa or visa-on-arrival application is required for a qualifying Korean visitor. Brazil's visitor category covers tourism, family visits, meetings, conferences, transit and other short non-residence activities, but paid work and stays beyond the visitor allowance require the proper Brazilian visa or residence authorization. At the border, carry a valid passport, proof of onward or return travel, accommodation details and evidence of sufficient funds if requested. Brazil does not require yellow fever vaccination for entry from South Korea, but vaccination is recommended for many Brazilian risk areas and may matter for onward travel.
