Do Mexico passport holders need a visa to visit Brazil?
Yes — as of early 2026 Mexican ordinary passport holders need a Brazil e-Visa (electronic visitor visa) before travel. The previous visa-free entry ended. Mexican citizens previously enjoyed unilateral visa-free entry to Brazil for up to 90 days. That waiver was reversed under a reciprocity arrangement: after Mexico reintroduced an electronic visa for Brazilians (5 February 2026), Brazil activated its own electronic visitor visa (e-Visa) requirement for Mexican nationals in early 2026. As of 30 May 2026, a Mexican ordinary passport holder traveling to Brazil for tourism must obtain the e-Visa online before boarding — airlines will deny boarding without the e-Visa QR code. The e-Visa is applied for through Brazil's official VFS Global portal (brazil.vfsevisa.com), is issued electronically (typically within a few business days), permits multiple entries with stays of up to 90 days per visit (extendable once for a total of 180 days within any 12-month period), and is valid for up to 10 years. There is no visa-on-arrival option; the e-Visa must be secured in advance.
