Saudi Arabia to Brazil visa requirements

Saudi Arabia ordinary passport holders need a visa to visit Brazil for tourism. There is no visa-free entry, no visa on arrival, and the Brazilian eVisa is not available to Saudi nationals. You must apply for the VIVIS tourist visit visa at the Brazilian Embassy in Riyadh through its e-consular portal before you travel. As of 30 May 2026, a Saudi Arabia ordinary passport holder requires a consular tourist visa (VIVIS) to enter Brazil for a short visit; Brazil is not part of any visa-waiver arrangement with Saudi Arabia for visa-free entry. Brazil's electronic visa (eVisa) program, which expanded to roughly 30 nationalities on 1 January 2026 on a reciprocity basis (US, Canada, Australia, plus France, Argentina, Mexico and others), does not include Saudi Arabia, and there is no visa-on-arrival channel. Saudi applicants apply at the Embassy of Brazil in Riyadh via the Itamaraty e-consular system (ec-riade.itamaraty.gov.br). A bilateral agreement signed in 2021 between Saudi Arabia and Brazil provides for a multiple-entry visit visa valid up to 5 years, permitting stays of up to 90 days per visit and a maximum of 180 days in any 12-month period, with a consular fee of about SR300 (roughly US$80); standard tourist visas otherwise carry consular charges of approximately R$160 plus a small service fee. Brazil is in South America, so the Schengen 90/180 short-stay rule and ETIAS do not apply. Travelers should verify documents and current fees directly with the Brazilian Embassy in Riyadh, as fee schedules and processing times can change.
