What documents do I need for a Brazil visa?

Getting ready to apply for a Brazilian visa and want to prepare in advance. What documents are typically required for a tourist visa application?

For a Brazil e-visa application you’ll typically need: a valid passport with at least 6 months validity and a blank page for stamps, a digital passport-style photo (white background, square format), a valid email address, and a debit or credit card to pay the fee. You’ll also need to provide your travel dates and accommodation details in Brazil, though confirmed bookings aren’t always required at the application stage.

Some nationalities may also need to provide proof of onward travel or show sufficient funds, so it’s worth double-checking the specific requirements for your passport on the official portal.

The good news is that for the e-visa, it’s all done online with no embassy visit needed. You can apply through the official Brazilian government portal or through a third party service (make sure they’re legitimate, we suggest iVisa) if you’d prefer a guided process.
