Brazil will reinstate the need for a Visitor Visa for citizens of the U.S., Australia, and Canada.

Updated: Dec 9, 2024

Since 2019, citizens from the U.S., Australia, and Canada traveling to Brazil for tourism or business have enjoyed visa-free entry. However, this policy is set to change on April 10, 2025, when Brazil plan to reinstate the requirement for a Visitor Visa (VIVIS) for citizens of these countries. This change follows a one-year postponement from the originally planned implementation in April 2024.

Filmmaking and Professional Work in Brazil

Foreign professionals traveling to Brazil for journalistic coverage, news reporting, or filming must also secure the Visitor Visa (VIVIS). This visa is intended for stays of up to 90 days without establishing residency.

For foreign film productions, registration with ANCINE, Brazil’s film agency, remains a mandatory step. Once registered, ANCINE will issue a letter confirming the project, which must accompany the visa application submitted to the consulate. This requirement is waived only for journalistic works.


Plan Ahead

If you or someone you know is planning to visit Brazil in the future, especially after April 2025, ensure compliance with the updated visa regulations. For assistance with visa requirements or navigating the registration process with ANCINE, feel free to reach out to us for guidance.
