The Brazilian government has postponed the introduction of visa requirements for citizens of Australia, Canada, and the United States until April 10, 2025.
Key Points:
Earlier plans had indicated that people from these three countries would need an eVisa to enter Brazil and would lose their visa-free status. Brazilian authorities have now confirmed that the new visa regulations will take effect on April 10, 2025, instead of the previously scheduled date of April 10, 2024, which was itself a delay from the original deadline of January 10, 2024. Additional Information: The process for obtaining an eVisa can be completed on this website. Individuals from Australia, Canada, and the United States who already hold a valid physical visa do not need to apply for the new eVisa.
BAL’s Assessment: To avoid potential travel disruptions, it is advisable for travelers planning to visit Brazil to apply for the eVisa well in advance. Businesses should also be aware of this new eVisa requirement, especially for employees traveling to Brazil for work purposes.
