Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit HU?

No. Brazilian ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for short tourist trips to Hungary. Hungary is in the Schengen Area, and Brazil is a visa-exempt country, so you may enter for up to 90 days within any 180-day period without a visa. Hungary is a member of the Schengen Area, and Brazil is listed in Annex II of EU Regulation 2018/1806 as a country whose nationals are exempt from the short-stay visa requirement. As a result, a Brazilian ordinary passport holder can travel to Hungary for tourism, business, family visits or transit without obtaining a visa, for stays of up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period across the whole Schengen Area (not just Hungary). No advance application or fee is required for the visa-free entry itself. Two EU border modernisation programmes are relevant in 2026: (1) The Entry/Exit System (EES) became fully operational on 10 April 2026. EES is a biometric border-registration system (facial image and fingerprints captured at the first Schengen entry point) that replaces manual passport stamping and automatically tracks the 90/180 day count. It is not a visa, requires no application and carries no fee, but travellers should allow extra time at the border. (2) ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) is a separate pre-travel authorisation that will eventually apply to visa-exempt nationals including Brazilians, but as of 31 May 2026 it has been postponed to at least 2027 and is NOT yet required. Until ETIAS goes live, no online authorisation is needed. Travellers should still carry a passport valid for at least three months beyond the intended departure date and be ready to show proof of accommodation, sufficient funds, return/onward travel and travel insurance, as the visa exemption does not guarantee entry; the final decision rests with border officers.
