Sweden to Brazil visa requirements

Visa-free 90 days, extendable to 180 days within 12 months, for Swedish citizens. Swedish ordinary passport holders enjoy visa-free travel to Brazil for tourism and business for up to 90 days, extendable for an additional 90 days at any Federal Police office (Polícia Federal), provided the total does not exceed 180 days within any 12-month period. There is no e-Visa or pre-registration; Brazil's 2025 e-Visa reintroduction targets US/Canadian/Australian citizens only and does not affect Swedes. SAS, KLM, Lufthansa and TAP Air Portugal connect ARN to GRU/GIG via CPH, AMS, FRA or LIS.
