Mexico to Brazil visa requirements

No visa is required for Mexican ordinary passport holders visiting Brazil for tourism or short business stays of up to 90 days. As of 2026-06-21, Mexican ordinary passport holders remain visa-free for short visits to Brazil. Brazil's MFA visa-regime table and the Consulate-General of Brazil in Mexico list Mexican citizens among nationalities that do not need a Visitor Visa (VIVIS) for tourism or business. Mexico's SRE travel guide for Brazil also says Mexican nationals do not require a visa and should instead carry a valid passport, return or onward travel, accommodation details, and proof of funds. The normal visitor admission is up to 90 days per entry. A longer stay must be handled in Brazil before the authorized stay expires, and total visitor stays generally cannot exceed 180 days per migratory year. There is no Brazil eVisa or visa-on-arrival step for Mexican ordinary passport tourists under the current official guidance.
