Thailand to Brazil visa requirements

No visa needed. Thai ordinary passport holders can visit Brazil visa-free for tourism, short business trips or transit for up to 90 days. As of 25 June 2026, Brazilian MFA country guidance lists holders of Thai passports as able to enter Brazil for tourism, short business trips or transit without a visa for stays of up to 90 days. The underlying Brazil-Thailand agreement exempts valid Thai passport holders from visas for tourism and business for no more than 90 days, and Brazil's promulgating decree records that the agreement entered into force on 27 October 1999. Thailand is not listed as an eligible nationality on Brazil's official eVisa portal, so no eVisa or visa-on-arrival applies for this visitor route. The traveler still has to meet normal immigration checks: a valid Thai passport, return or onward travel, accommodation details and proof of means if requested. Longer stays or purposes such as paid work require the correct authorization. A tourist/visitor stay extension may be requested from the Federal Police before the admitted stay expires, but it is subject to QGRV/reciprocity rules and officer approval; the service page lists a R$110.44 extension-request fee.
