Singapore to Brazil visa requirements

No visa needed for short visits. Singapore ordinary passport holders can visit Brazil visa-free for up to 30 days. Singapore ordinary passport holders can visit Brazil without a visa for up to 30 days for short tourism, transit, and qualifying non-remunerated business activities. This is a shorter allowance than Brazil's usual 90-day visitor visa framework: Brazil's Embassy in Singapore says Singapore citizens visiting Brazil for more than 30 days must apply for a 90-day Visit Visa (VIVIS) through the regular application process before travel. The Singapore MFA Brazil page also states that Singaporeans may visit Brazil for up to 30 days without a visa. Travelers should carry a passport valid for at least six months, an onward or return ticket, accommodation or host details, and evidence of sufficient funds. Visa-free entry does not permit local employment, paid work, residence, or long-term study.
