Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit GA?
Brazilian ordinary passport holders need a Gabon eVisa, obtained online before travel via the official DGDI portal, for tourism stays. Entry must be by air through Léon Mba International Airport in Libreville. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory. As of May 2026, a Brazilian ordinary (common) passport holder requires a visa to enter Gabon for tourism. The recommended channel is the electronic visa (eVisa) issued by Gabon's Directorate General of Documentation and Immigration (DGDI) through the official portal evisa.dgdi.ga, completed online before departure. Gabon's 2024 policy change removed the short-stay visa exemption previously extended to G20 nationals (which includes Brazil); since then, Brazilian travelers arriving by air must hold an eVisa before boarding. The eVisa is valid only for arrivals through Léon Mba International Airport in Libreville. Travelers entering by land, sea, or other airports must obtain a visa from a Gabonese consular post in advance. A frequent point of confusion is the Brazil-Gabon bilateral agreement of 21 August 2001, but that visa waiver covers diplomatic, official and service passports only, not ordinary passports. A standard single-entry tourist eVisa permits a 30-day stay; a 6-month multiple-entry option allows up to 90 days. Processing is typically completed within 72 hours. A valid International Certificate of Vaccination for yellow fever is a strict entry requirement for all travelers. Because sources conflict on ordinary-passport exemption, the conservative and verified position is that an eVisa is required.
