Apply early — no walk-in visas
There is no visa-on-arrival or visa waiver for Jordanians. You must get your e-Visa approved before you fly. Processing can take 2–3 weeks, so don't leave it until the last minute.
Passport validity counts from landing day
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date you arrive in Brazil, not from when you leave. If it expires sooner, renew it before applying for the visa.
What happens at the border
1
Apply for your e-Visa online
Go to the Brazilian government's e-Visa portal (gov.br/mre). Fill in your personal details, upload a passport photo and a scan of your passport bio page. Pay the fee with a credit card. Processing usually takes 5–15 business days.
2
Wait for approval and print your visa
Once approved, you'll receive a PDF visa by email. Print it out — you'll need to show the physical copy at the airport and to Brazilian immigration.
3
Prepare your documents for departure
Before you leave for the airport, gather: your passport (6+ months validity), printed visa, return/onward ticket, and first-night hotel confirmation. Save digital copies on your phone too.
4
Arrive in Brazil and go through immigration
At the airport (e.g., Guarulhos in São Paulo or Galeão in Rio), join the 'Foreign Passports' queue. Hand over your passport, visa, and boarding pass. The officer may ask for your return ticket or hotel address — answer clearly. They'll stamp your passport with your entry date and allowed stay.
