Tourist Visas
for Brazil
All tourists
need passports to enter Brazil, but visas
may or may not be mandatory depending upon
relation between countries. USA citizens,
for example, need visas, because they also
require them from Brazilians. The Ministry
of Foreign Relations authorizes the visas,
which may be requested form Brazilian
Representations abroad. The amount to be
paid varies from country to country.
One of the
foreigners’ duties is to fulfill the periods
of permanence without going beyond them. The
way to verify these periods is to check the
stamp placed on the passport upon arrival in
the country. Therefore, it is important to
check if the passport has been stamped. If
it is necessary to remain any longer the
renewal of the visa must be requested at an
office of the Federal Police before the
given period is over, at the risk of having
to pay a fine upon leaving the country.
