Visa
Brazil has reciprocity agreements with many countries from Western Europe and South America. These passport-holders will not need a visa to visit Brazil. However, citizens from some countries need to apply for a Visa before arrival in Brazil. In order to obtain the necessary information about visa, we strongly recommend to contact the nearest Brazilian Embassy or Consulate in your city at least 45 days prior your travel date. The organization of the HPSP13 may provide an official invitation letter for those that would need to apply for a visa. Please request the invitation letter. Requirements for a tourist visa include a valid passport for at least six months from the date of arrival, one passport size photograph and a round trip ticket. Most international airlines can advise on visa requirements.
