The Brazilian Government is postponing its new visa requirement for holders of passports issued in Australia, Canada and the United States.

Passport holders from these countries will soon be required to apply for an eVisa to enter Brazil and will no longer qualify for visa-free status.

Previously set to enter into effect on January 10, 2024, the new visa policy will now be introduced on April 10, 2024.

According to a statement shared by Brazil’s Ministry of Tourism, the postponement aims at making time for the completion of a new implementation process.

The new timeline also avoids the introduction of the new requirement during the country’s busy travel season, the government said.

Currently, these travellers can stay in Brazil for 90 days over a 12-month period and can extend their stay for another 90 days.

New eVisa for Australian, Canadian and US Citizens:

In December 2023, the Brazilian Government announced an eVisa system for citizens of the United States, Canada and Australia.

At the time, the country said that the tourists coming from the three countries would need to fulfill an online application before arriving via air, sea, or land.

The entire process would be done online, the government explained. After receiving their electronic visa, holders needed only to show a printed copy of the document, along with their passports, when arriving in Brazil.

Allowing multiple entries, the e-Visa had a reported cost of $80.90 with validity periods varying by country.

U.S. citizens would see a ten-year validity period, while for Canadians and Australians, the visa would be valid for five years.
