Do Brazil passport holders need a visa to visit RO?

No visa needed. Brazilian ordinary passport holders can enter Romania visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Romania is a full Schengen member since 2025, so Brazil's Schengen visa waiver applies. ETIAS is not yet required (expected Q4 2026). Romania became a full member of the Schengen Area in 2025 (air and sea borders opened in March 2024, land borders on 1 January 2025). Brazilian ordinary passport holders are listed among the visa-exempt nationalities (EU Annex II), reinforced by the EU-Brazil short-stay visa waiver agreement. They may enter Romania and the wider Schengen Area without a visa for tourism, business or family visits for up to 90 days within any rolling 180-day period. Days spent in any other Schengen country count toward the same 90-day allowance. As of 30 May 2026, no electronic travel authorization is required: ETIAS is expected to launch only in the last quarter of 2026, and the EES (Entry/Exit System) registers travelers at the border but does not require a pre-application. Travelers should hold a passport valid for the whole stay (six months' validity recommended to avoid airline issues) and be ready to show proof of accommodation, onward/return travel, sufficient funds and travel insurance. For stays beyond 90 days or for work/study, a national long-stay visa or residence permit is required.
