Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit CG?

Brazilian ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter the Republic of the Congo (Congo-Brazzaville) for tourism. It must be obtained in advance from a Congolese embassy or consulate before travel. There is no genuine eVisa or visa-on-arrival option for Brazilian ordinary passport holders, and Brazil's visa exemption applies only to diplomatic and service passports. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is also mandatory. A Brazil (BR) ordinary passport holder must obtain a tourist visa before traveling to the Republic of the Congo (Congo-Brazzaville, CG). The U.S. Department of State confirms that a visa is required and must be obtained before arrival, with no electronic visa channel and no visa-on-arrival for Brazilian ordinary passport holders. Congo's visa policy grants visa-free entry only to a small group of Central African neighbours (Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon) and visa-on-arrival to a limited list (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, Togo, UAE) — Brazil is on neither list. Brazil's bilateral exemption with Congo covers ONLY diplomatic and service passports; ordinary tourist passports are excluded. Applications are filed at a Congolese embassy/consulate (or, where available, the Congolese mission in France that handles online lodging), but the product remains a consular/paper visa rather than a self-service eVisa. Travelers should budget for a short-stay single-entry tourist visa, provide an invitation letter or confirmed hotel reservation, and carry a valid yellow fever (WHO/ICVP) vaccination certificate, which is mandatory for entry. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months with one blank page.
