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. If your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding by the airline. Carry a photocopy of the bio page as backup. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Brazil within 90 days | Immigration officers at GRU and GIG routinely ask for a return or onward ticket. A printed itinerary or e-ticket works. If you overstay even one day, the fine is R$100 per day and you risk a 5-year ban. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation letter | Have a printed hotel confirmation or a signed letter from your host with their CPF (Brazilian tax ID). Officers rarely ask, but if you cannot show where you are staying, they can deny entry. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statement or credit card showing sufficient means | Carry a recent bank statement or a credit card with a visible limit. The rule says you need at least R$200 per day of stay, but in practice officers rarely check. Still, having a printout avoids hassle. | 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.
