Philippines to Brazil visa requirements

Q: Does Brazil's eVisa apply to Philippine passport holders?

No. Philippine ordinary passport holders are covered by Brazil's visa exemption for short visits, so they do not apply for a Brazil eVisa for this route.

Q: How long can I stay in Brazil visa-free?

Up to 90 days per entry. You may request one extension of up to 90 more days at the Federal Police, but the total must not exceed 180 days within any 12-month period.

Q: What documents should I carry on arrival?

A Philippine passport valid for the full stay, a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and proof of sufficient funds. Officers or airlines may ask to see these.

Q: Do I need a yellow fever vaccination?

It is not required for entry from the Philippines, but it is recommended if you will visit or transit yellow-fever risk areas within Brazil.

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

No. Visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, family visits and transit only — not for paid employment.

Philippine ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for short tourist visits to Brazil. You may enter visa-free and stay up to 90 days. As of 25 June 2026, holders of an ordinary Philippine passport are visa-exempt for tourism, business meetings, family visits and transit in Brazil. Entry is granted for up to 90 days, and an extension for up to another 90 days may be requested from the Federal Police (Polícia Federal) before the initial stay expires, with the combined stay not exceeding 180 days within the applicable 12-month/year limit. The exemption rests on the Brazil-Philippines visa waiver arrangement and Brazil's current VIVIS visa-exemption table for Philippine passport holders. No Brazilian visa, eVisa, visa-on-arrival or pre-registration is required for this ordinary short visit. Travelers should carry a passport valid for the full stay, proof of onward/return travel, proof of sufficient funds and accommodation details, as immigration officers or airlines may request them.
