Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa application Apply for a visa before travel | Omani passport holders need a visa to enter Brazil. Apply through the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs eVisa portal at gov.br/mre. Processing takes 5–10 business days — submit at least 2 weeks before your flight.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Your passport needs at least 6 months of validity from your planned departure date from Brazil. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Brazil | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward ticket showing you'll leave Brazil before your visa expires. Have a printed or digital copy ready — budget airlines often check this at the gate too. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or invitation letter | Keep a hotel reservation or a letter from your host with their address and contact details. Officers rarely ask for it, but having it ready avoids delays at the counter. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statement or credit card | Carry a recent bank statement or a credit card with sufficient limit. Immigration may ask how you'll support yourself — showing a card with a few hundred USD available usually satisfies them. | Recommended |
Apply early — no walk-in visas
