Do Singapore passport holders need a visa to visit Brazil?

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

Up to 90 days per entry, with a maximum of 180 days within any 12-month period.

Q: Was Singapore affected by Brazil's 2025 eVisa changes?

No. The eVisa requirement reinstated in 2025 applies only to US, Canadian, and Australian nationals. Singaporeans remain visa-free.

Q: Can I extend my stay beyond 90 days?

Yes. You may apply to the Brazilian Federal Police for an extension before your stay expires, up to the 180-day annual limit.

Q: What documents do I need at the border?

A valid Singapore passport, proof of onward/return travel, and ideally proof of accommodation and sufficient funds.

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

No. Visa-free entry is for tourism, business meetings, and transit only - you cannot work or receive payment from a Brazilian source.

No visa needed. Singapore ordinary passport holders can enter Brazil visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days. Singapore ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for short tourist visits to Brazil. Brazil grants visa-free entry for stays of up to 90 days per entry within a 180-day period. You simply arrive with a valid passport, proof of onward/return travel, and evidence of sufficient funds. The 90-day stay can be extended once by a further period (up to a 180-day total per year) by applying to the Brazilian Federal Police (Polícia Federal) before your authorized stay expires. Note that Brazil's 2025 reinstatement of the eVisa requirement applied only to nationals of the United States, Canada, and Australia, and the January-May 2026 changes affected Chinese nationals; none of these affect Singapore citizens, who remain visa-exempt. There is no application fee and no online pre-registration required for Singaporeans. Your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay (six months' validity is strongly recommended). Entry is for tourism, business, transit, and similar non-remunerated activities; you may not work or receive payment from a Brazilian source under visa-free entry.
