Question 1

How many countries can Brazilian passport holders visit without a visa?

Accepted Answer

A great many - the Brazilian passport is one of the strongest in the Americas, ranking around 19th on the Henley Passport Index. That gives visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to roughly 170 countries and territories, including the whole Schengen area, the UK (with an ETA), Japan, Russia, the UAE and all of South America. For most trips you simply book your flight and go.

Question 2

Which countries still ask Brazilians for an eVisa or eTA online?

Accepted Answer

Only a small group - a little over 50. These are the ones worth planning ahead for, and most are quick online forms. The popular ones you can sort through us include India, Vietnam, Egypt, Cambodia and Kenya, plus electronic authorisations for the United Kingdom, New Zealand and South Korea that you now request online before you fly.

Question 3

Which destinations can I apply for through eVisas.com with a Brazilian passport?

Accepted Answer

You can apply directly for 22 destinations - including Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Cambodia, Cuba, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Kenya, Laos, Madagascar, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Seychelles, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, the United Kingdom and Vietnam. Two more - Oman and Tajikistan - are possible with one extra condition, explained on each card. We complete the form, check it and submit it for you.

Question 4

Can Brazilians travel to the United States without a visa?

Accepted Answer

No. Brazil is not part of the US Visa Waiver Program, so there is no ESTA for Brazilians. To visit the United States you need a B1/B2 visitor visa, which means an application and an interview at a US embassy or consulate. It is an embassy process, so it is not something we handle online.

Question 5

Do Brazilians need anything for the United Kingdom now?

Accepted Answer

Yes - an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA). The UK now asks visa-free visitors, including Brazilians, to get this quick online approval before they fly. It is linked to your passport, lasts two years, and is not a full visa. It is one of the things we can arrange for you.

Question 6

Do Brazilians need a K-ETA for South Korea?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Brazil is not on South Korea's temporary K-ETA exemption list, so Brazilian visitors must hold a K-ETA before they travel. It is an online travel authorisation linked to your passport, valid for up to three years and good for multiple visits. We can prepare and submit it for you well ahead of your trip.

Question 7

Do Brazilians need an NZeTA for New Zealand?

Accepted Answer

Yes. New Zealand asks Brazilian visitors to hold an NZeTA before they travel, whether they arrive by air or on a cruise. It is valid for up to two years and comes with the International Visitor Levy. We can request the NZeTA and arrange the levy for you so it is sorted before departure.

Question 8

Do Brazilians need a visa for Europe and the Schengen area?

Accepted Answer

Not for short trips. Brazilians can visit the Schengen area - Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and the rest - visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180. The one change on the horizon is ETIAS, a low-cost online travel authorisation (not a visa) that Europe is rolling out for visa-free visitors; once it is live you will register online before you travel, much like an eTA.

Question 9

Can Brazilians travel freely across South America?

Accepted Answer

Yes, very easily. As a Mercosur member, a Brazilian can enter neighbouring countries - Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia and Ecuador - with just the national ID card (RG), no passport or visa needed, and can stay, live and work under the residence agreement. There is no application for these trips, so there is nothing for us to process.

Question 10

Do Brazilians need a visa for Canada?

Accepted Answer

In practice, usually yes. Brazilians can only use Canada's quick eTA if they already hold, or have recently held, a Canadian visa or a valid US visa; everyone else needs a full visitor visa applied for at the embassy. Because both routes are embassy-based for most Brazilians, we do not process Canada - we focus on the destinations we can complete fully online.

Question 11

Are Russia, Turkey and the UAE really visa-free for Brazilians?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it surprises many travellers. Brazilians can enter Russia and Turkey visa-free for up to 90 days, and the UAE for 90 days as well - no eVisa needed, even though those countries charge other nationalities for one. Just travel on a valid passport; there is no online product to buy for these destinations.

Question 12

Can Brazilians get an Indian e-visa online?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Brazilian citizens are eligible for the India e-Tourist Visa, which we prepare and submit for you. It comes as a 30-day double-entry visa or a one-year multiple-entry visa, used at India's designated airports and seaports, and the whole application is online with no visit to an Indian visa centre.

Question 13

Where can Brazilians get a visa on arrival?

Accepted Answer

In around a dozen places, mostly small island and African nations - for example the Maldives, Cape Verde, the Comoros and several Pacific states. With a visa on arrival there is nothing to apply for first; you pay and receive the stamp at the airport. Still bring a return ticket, a hotel booking and proof of funds, because the officer decides on the spot.

Question 14

What is the condition on Oman and Tajikistan?

Accepted Answer

Both are visa-free for short stays and only need an eVisa if you stay longer. Oman lets Brazilians in visa-free for up to 14 days; you only buy its eVisa for trips up to 30 days. Tajikistan is visa-free for up to 30 days, with the eVisa needed only for a longer stay. Each card explains the threshold, and we can prepare the eVisa if your trip runs long.

Question 15

Are eVisa fees the same for every destination?

Accepted Answer

No - each country sets its own government fee, and they vary. When a Brazilian applies through us the price shown on a destination's page is all-inclusive, combining that government fee with our service charge, so nothing extra appears later. This nationality page is a guide to where you can go, so it does not list prices.

Question 16

Does eVisas.com guarantee my visa will be approved?

Accepted Answer

No honest service can promise approval, because the final decision always rests with the destination country's immigration authority. What we do is make sure your application is accurate and complete, catch the small mistakes that often cause refusals, submit it correctly, and keep you informed - which gives a Brazilian traveller the best possible chance of a smooth approval.
