The current Taipei tourist VIVIS fee for a Taiwan passport is NT$2,880. The fee is non-refundable.

Taiwan ordinary passport holders need a visa to visit Brazil for tourism. Apply for a consular Visitor Visa (VIVIS) before travel; Brazil does not offer visa-free, visa-on-arrival, or eVisa entry for Taiwanese passports. A Taiwan (TW) ordinary passport holder cannot enter Brazil visa-free, on arrival, or with an eVisa for tourism. Brazil's official visa-requirements list says holders of all Taiwanese passports must apply for a visa before entering Brazil, and the Brazil Trade Office in Taipei instructs Taiwanese passport holders to apply for a Brazilian physical visa through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs online form and the Taipei counter. The tourist VIVIS route covers tourism, visiting friends or relatives, short study/research, unpaid artistic or sports activities, airport transit, medical treatment, and volunteer activity when the stay does not exceed 90 days. For Taiwanese travelers, the Taipei office states the VIVIS may be valid for up to 5 years with multiple entries; each entry allows up to 90 days, extendable once for up to another 90 days, with a maximum stay of 180 days in any 12-month period. The current Taipei fee for a Taiwan passport is NT$2,880. Applications are submitted in person or by an authorized representative at the Brazil Trade Office in Taipei; postal applications are not accepted and there is no rush service.
