Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit GR?
Brazilian ordinary passport holders can visit Greece visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. ETIAS is not yet required as of 31 May 2026. Greece is part of the Schengen Area, and Brazil is on the EU's visa-exempt list for short stays. As of 31 May 2026, a Brazilian ordinary passport holder does not need a visa or any pre-travel authorisation to enter Greece for tourism. Travel is governed by the Schengen 90/180 short-stay rule: a maximum of 90 days of stay within any rolling 180-day period across the entire Schengen Area combined, not per country. The EU-Brazil amended visa-waiver agreement entered into force on 1 March 2026, confirming reciprocal 90/180 visa-free access. The EU's new ETIAS travel authorisation (EUR 20, valid 3 years) is scheduled to go live in the last quarter of 2026, after which Brazilians will eventually need it; however, it is NOT operational on 31 May 2026, and a transitional period of at least six months will follow its launch before it becomes strictly mandatory. The separate Entry/Exit System (EES) registers biometrics at the border but is not a visa. At the border, Greek (Hellenic Police) officers may still ask for proof of onward travel, accommodation, and sufficient funds.
