Brazil adopts a visa granting policy based on the principle of reciprocity. This means that nationals of countries that require visas from Brazilian citizens to enter their territories will also need a visa to travel to Brazil.

Some countries are exempt from visiting visas, as is the case with MERCOSUR and neighboring countries. Furthermore, other countries have agreements with Brazil. Therefore, you must research the type of visa that best fits your needs.
