| Planning a longer trip to Brazil, maybe 60–90 days more. What’s the maximum stay allowed on a tourist visa, and is it possible to extend it while I’m there? |
|---|
Brazil’s tourist visa allows a maximum stay of 90 days per visit, with a cap of 180 days total within any 12-month period. So a 60 to 90 day trip is right at the limit of what a single visit allows.
On extensions: yes, it is possible to extend your stay from within Brazil. You can apply for an extension of up to 90 additional days through the Federal Police (Policia Federal), which would bring you up to the 180-day annual maximum. You’ll need to apply before your initial entry period expires and pay a fee. It’s worth doing this well in advance rather than last minute.
