UPDATES ON VISITOR VISA REQUIREMENTS FOR US CITIZENS

The requirement for US citizens to obtain a visa to travel to Brazil for tourism or business has been postponed.

The new effective date for this change is January 10th, 2024. This means that US citizens will need to obtain a visa before traveling to Brazil for tourism or business from that date onward.

If you are a US citizen traveling to Brazil for tourism or business before that date, you do not need a visa.
