Malaysia to Brazil visa requirements

Q: Does the 2025 Brazil eVisa rule affect Malaysians?

No. The eVisa reinstated on 10 April 2025 applies only to citizens of the United States, Canada and Australia. Malaysia is not affected.

Q: How long can I stay in Brazil without a visa?

Up to 90 days per entry. You may request an extension from the Federal Police, but total stays cannot exceed 180 days within any 12-month period.

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

No. Visa-free entry is for tourism, family visits, business meetings and transit only. Paid work or residence requires the appropriate visa.

Q: How much passport validity do I need?

Your passport should be valid for the duration of your stay; six months of remaining validity and two blank pages are recommended to avoid problems.

Q: Do I need a yellow fever vaccination?

It is not required for entry from Malaysia, but is strongly recommended if you plan to visit or transit yellow-fever risk areas such as the Amazon region.

No visa needed. Malaysian ordinary passport holders can enter Brazil visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days. Malaysia and Brazil maintain a mutual visa-exemption arrangement, so holders of ordinary Malaysian passports may enter Brazil for tourism, family visits, business meetings or transit without applying for any visa. The visa-free stay is initially up to 90 days, and may be extended once by the Brazilian Federal Police, provided total stays do not exceed 180 days within any 12-month period. The eVisa requirement Brazil reinstated on 10 April 2025 applies only to citizens of the United States, Canada and Australia — Malaysia is not affected. Travellers should still carry a passport valid for the duration of stay (ideally 6 months), proof of onward/return travel and sufficient funds, and may be asked about accommodation. Visa-free entry does not permit paid work or long-term residence.
