Vietnam to Brazil visa requirements

Yes, a visa is required. Vietnamese ordinary passport holders must obtain a Brazilian Visitor Visa (VIVIS) before traveling for tourism or short visits. Itamaraty exempts only Vietnamese diplomatic/official passports for qualifying stays; all other Vietnamese cases require a visa before entering Brazil. As of 2026-06-29, Brazil's official Itamaraty country list says holders of Vietnamese diplomatic and official passports can enter Brazil without visas for qualifying stays, but for all other purposes or cases a visa is required before entering Brazil. A Vietnamese ordinary passport holder visiting for tourism therefore needs a consular Visitor Visa (VIVIS) in advance; Brazil does not offer visa-free entry or visa-on-arrival for this route. The same official country list marks electronic visit visa availability for specific nationalities such as Australia, Canada and the United States, but Vietnam is not marked as eVisa-eligible, so Vietnamese ordinary passport holders should use the consular VIVIS process instead. The official VIVIS guidance says a Visitor Visa may be granted for stays of up to 90 days for purposes such as tourism and business meetings, with an online/e-consular application, passport, photo, supporting travel and financial documents, and consular fee payment. If applying from Vietnam, check the Brazilian Embassy in Hanoi's current consular instructions before submitting because local appointment, payment and document requirements can change.
