If you’re planning to give birth in Brazil, one of the first questions you might have is: Do I need a visa? The answer depends on your nationality, but don’t worry – I’m here to guide you step by step.
Visa-Free Countries – Simple Entry
Many nationalities can enter Brazil without a visa. This includes:
• Most of Europe (European Union, UK, Switzerland)
• Russia, Ukraine, and other CIS countries
• South Africa
• Most Latin American countries
• Japan, South Korea
If you’re from one of these countries, you can simply arrive as a tourist, and you are automatically allowed to stay for up to 90 days. There is no need to apply for a visa in advance. When you arrive, the immigration officer will stamp your passport with your entry date.
IMPORTANT: Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel date. While Brazil technically allows shorter validity, many airlines will not let you board without six months of validity.
Visa-Required Countries – Easy Online Process
If you are from a country that requires a visa to enter Brazil, such as:
• United States
• Canada
• Australia
• New Zealand
You will need to apply for a tourist visa (VIVIS) before you travel. But don’t worry – Brazil now offers a simple e-Visa system for many countries. Here’s how it works:
• Step 1: Go to the official Brazilian visa application website (we’ll guide you through it).
• Step 2: Complete the online form with your personal details.
• Step 3: Upload a scan of your passport and a recent photo.
• Step 4: Pay the visa fee (usually around $40–$100, depending on your nationality).
• Step 5: Receive your e-Visa by email, usually within a few days. This e-Visa allows you to stay in Brazil for up to 90 days, and it can often be extended once you’re here. Our Baby in Brazil team can help you with the application – making sure all the details are correct.
Key Documents You Need at the Airport
No matter your nationality, there are a few things you should have ready when you arrive in Brazil:
• Your Passport: Valid for at least six months (many airlines check this).
• Return or Onward Ticket: Proof that you plan to leave Brazil (not always asked, but good to have).
• Travel Health Insurance: Not required but highly recommended, especially since you are pregnant. (We can suggest insurance options that cover maternity.)
• Baby in Brazil Confirmation: If you’re using our services, have our welcome letter and contact info on hand for peace of mind.
What If Your Visa Expires While You’re Here?
Don’t panic. If your 90 days are almost up, you have two options:
• Apply for a 90-day extension: We handle this for you with the Brazilian Federal Police.
• Convert to a residency visa: If your baby is born in Brazil, you can apply for permanent residency as a parent of a Brazilian citizen.
We monitor your visa status and ensure you never overstay. Our team has guided hundreds of families through this process smoothly.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
• Overlooking Passport Validity: Even if Brazil allows shorter validity, many airlines don’t. Always have six months’ validity on your passport.
• Last-Minute Visa Applications: If you need a visa, apply at least two weeks before your travel date to avoid stress.
• Traveling Without Health Insurance: Pregnancy is unpredictable. Having insurance gives you peace of mind on your journey.
Special Situations – Staying Longer
Some families fall in love with Brazil and decide they want to stay beyond 90 days. That’s okay – you have options:
• Tourist Visa Extension: Get an extra 90 days (for a total of 180 days per year in Brazil).
• Permanent Residency Through Your Baby: If your baby is born in Brazil, you have the right to apply for permanent residency. We assist with this process, including document preparation and interviews.
