Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your departure date from Brazil | Brazil strictly enforces the 6-month passport validity rule. Airlines check this at check-in — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. Your passport also needs at least one blank page for the entry stamp. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Brazil | Immigration officers at Brazilian airports routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. A flight reservation or bus ticket out of Brazil within 90 days works. Without one, you risk being refused entry and sent back on the next flight. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation letter | Have a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host ready. Officers may ask where you are staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. A simple printout or digital copy on your phone is fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statement, credit card, or cash | Carry a bank statement showing at least R$ 2,000 (about $400 USD) or a credit card with available limit. Immigration rarely checks this for Slovenian passport holders, but having it ready avoids delays. | Recommended |
Passport validity is strictly enforced
Brazil requires your passport to be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. If it's close to expiring, renew before you go — you will be turned away at the border.
No visa, but have documents ready
While no visa is needed, immigration officers may ask for your return ticket and accommodation proof. Keep digital copies on your phone or printouts in your carry-on.
What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Brazilian immigration
At the airport (e.g., Guarulhos in São Paulo or Galeão in Rio), follow signs to 'Passport Control' or 'Foreigners'. Join the queue for non-Mercosur passports.
2
Present your documents
Hand over your passport and, if asked, your return ticket and accommodation proof. The officer will check your passport validity and stamp you in.
3
Receive entry stamp
The officer stamps your passport with the entry date and the number of days granted (usually 90). Check the stamp before leaving the counter.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. No additional forms are needed for visa-free entry.
