Visas

Jul 30, 2009

The visa process in Brazil depends on the purpose of the visit. Dutch citizens don´t need visas for tourism and business trips that last less than 90 days. For higher education students it is required a Visa IV.

Depending on the purpose of visit and on the visitor's nationality, a visa is not required to enter Brazil. Dutch citizens on a tourism or business trip to Brazil, for instance, are exempt. For other cases, check below at "How to apply for a visa" whether you are exempt or not. Even if you are exempt from a visa, on arrival in Brazil you must produce a passport valid for at least six months.

Additionally, you may be required by the Brazilian Migration Police (Polícia Federal) to meet the following conditions:

  • Prove you have sufficient funds for your term of stay.
  • Demonstrate your travel objective (for instance, by means of a hotel reservation and a roundtrip ticket, in case of a tourism trip).

In case of Dutch students, a temporary Visa IV is required. Below you can find the doccumentation requirements  for this type of visa:

  • Passport valid for a minimum of six months or the duration of the visa, whichever is longer.
  • One recent 3 cm x 4 cm photograph, front view.
  • One visa application form (click here to fill in the form).

Fill in the form, click "SEND" to receive your processing number and receipt. Than, you should print the receipt, attach your photograph, sign the receipt and bring the duly completed and signed receipt, the original documentation, passport and payment to the Brazilian Consulate in Rotterdam.
