Our all-inclusive pricing means you know exactly what you're paying for, with no hidden charges or surprise costs. The fees listed above cover our professional visa assistance services, which include comprehensive application support, document verification, expert consultation, and 24/7 customer service throughout the process.

When comparing Brazil visa fees, it's important to understand what's included in the price. Our service fees cover much more than simple form filling. We provide professional expertise, quality assurance, application tracking, and ongoing support that significantly increases your chances of approval and saves you valuable time. Many travelers find that the peace of mind and convenience provided by our service is well worth the investment.

Why Brazil Visa Fees Vary

You may notice that Brazil visa fees differ based on the type of visa and processing speed you choose. These variations reflect the different levels of service, complexity, and urgency associated with each option. Tourist visas, business visas, and transit visas each have specific requirements and documentation standards that influence the processing complexity and therefore the fee structure.

Express processing fees are higher than regular processing fees because they provide priority handling, expedited review, and faster turnaround times. When you choose express processing, your application receives immediate attention from our most experienced visa consultants, who work to complete your application as quickly as possible while maintaining our high quality standards. This premium service is ideal for travelers with urgent travel dates or last-minute business trips to Brazil.

No Hidden Charges Guarantee

Unlike some visa services that advertise low prices but add multiple fees throughout the process, our pricing is straightforward and honest. The fee you see is the total amount you'll pay for our comprehensive Brazil visa assistance service. There are no application fees, processing fees, document fees, or service charges added at checkout. What you see is what you pay – it's that simple.

We understand that budgeting for international travel involves many expenses, and unexpected visa costs can be frustrating. That's why we commit to transparent pricing from the start. Whether you choose regular or express processing, tourist or business visa, the fee quoted includes everything you need for professional visa assistance from start to finish.

Payment Security and Protection

Security is our top priority when it comes to processing your Brazil visa fee payment. We use industry-leading encryption and secure payment processing systems to protect your financial information. All transactions are processed through PCI-compliant payment gateways that meet the highest security standards. Your credit card information is never stored on our servers, ensuring maximum protection against unauthorized access.

We accept major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express, providing you with flexibility and the protection offered by your card issuer. Payment is processed instantly upon submission, and you'll receive immediate confirmation of your transaction along with a detailed receipt for your records. Our secure payment system ensures that your Brazil visa application process begins promptly and securely.

Refund and Cancellation Policy

While we strive for complete customer satisfaction and successful visa outcomes, it's important to understand our refund policy. Once your Brazil visa application has been processed and submitted to the appropriate authorities, refunds are not available as the service has been completed. However, if you decide to cancel your application before we've begun processing, we offer a partial refund minus administrative costs.

In the rare event that a Brazil visa application is rejected, please note that visa fees are non-refundable as our service fee covers the professional assistance and processing work completed, regardless of the final decision. However, we work diligently to ensure your application is as strong as possible before submission, and our experienced team's thorough review process significantly reduces the likelihood of rejection.

Group and Family Discounts

Families and groups traveling together to Brazil can benefit from our streamlined application process. While each traveler requires a separate visa and individual fee, we can process multiple applications simultaneously, saving you time and coordination efforts. Contact our customer support team to discuss group applications and learn about any available discounts for families applying together.

When submitting multiple Brazil visa applications for family members, we coordinate all applications to ensure they're processed together and approved simultaneously. This coordination is particularly valuable for families planning trips to Brazil, as it ensures everyone receives their visa at the same time, eliminating uncertainty about whether all family members will be approved before your travel dates.

Step-by-Step Guide to Applying for Your Brazil Visa

Our Brazil visa application process is designed to be as simple and straightforward as possible while ensuring accuracy and compliance with all requirements. We've streamlined every step to save you time while providing the professional expertise that significantly increases your approval chances. Here's a detailed look at each step of the process when you choose our professional visa assistance service.

Step 1: Initial Application and Information Gathering

The first step in obtaining your Brazil eVisa is completing our online application form. Our form is designed to be user-friendly and intuitive, guiding you through each section with clear instructions and helpful tips. You'll provide basic personal information including your full name as it appears on your passport, date of birth, place of birth, and current contact information. We also collect details about your US passport including passport number, issue date, and expiration date.

The application form includes sections about your travel plans where you'll specify your intended entry date into Brazil, planned departure date, purpose of visit, and details about your accommodation. For business visa applicants, there are additional fields for information about the Brazilian company you'll be visiting and the nature of your business activities. Our form is designed to save your progress automatically, so you can complete it in multiple sessions if needed.

You'll also provide information about your employment or current status, including your occupation, employer name and address, and supervisor contact information. This information helps establish your ties to the United States and your intention to return after your Brazil visit. Students should provide details about their educational institution, while retirees should indicate their retirement status. The form adapts to your specific situation, only requesting relevant information for your circumstances.

Background information is an important part of the application where you'll answer questions about your immigration history, criminal record, and previous visa applications. It's crucial to answer these questions honestly and completely. If you've previously been denied a visa, overstayed a visa, or had any immigration issues, you'll have an opportunity to provide explanation and context. Our visa experts can help you address any concerns in this section before your application is submitted.

Step 2: Document Upload and Verification

After completing the application form, you'll move to the document upload section where you'll provide digital copies of all required documents. Our secure upload portal accepts common image formats including JPEG, PNG, and PDF files. The system provides clear specifications for each document type, including required file size, resolution, and format. You can upload documents from your computer, phone, or tablet, making the process convenient from any device.

The first and most important document to upload is a clear, color scan of your passport bio-data page (the page with your photo and personal information). The scan must show all four corners of the page with all text clearly legible. If your passport has any amendments or endorsements, you should also upload scans of those pages. Our system checks uploaded documents in real-time and alerts you to any quality issues, allowing you to re-upload if necessary before proceeding.

Your visa photograph can be uploaded as a digital file following the specific requirements outlined earlier in this guide. Our system includes an automated photo checker that verifies your photo meets the basic size, background, and quality requirements. However, our visa experts will also manually review your photo to ensure it fully complies with Brazilian visa photo standards. If your photo doesn't meet requirements, we'll contact you with specific guidance on obtaining an acceptable photo.

Financial documents, travel itineraries, and accommodation proof should be uploaded as clear, complete documents. Bank statements should show all pages including account holder information and recent transactions. Flight reservations should clearly display confirmation numbers, flight details, and dates. Hotel bookings should include the hotel name, address, dates, and confirmation details. Our document checklist ensures you don't miss any required items before submission.

For business visa applicants, you'll upload additional documents including your invitation letter from the Brazilian company, your employment verification letter, and any business relationship documentation. Our system allows you to upload multiple files and organize them by category. If you're unsure whether a particular document is required or acceptable, our support team is available 24/7 to provide guidance and answer questions.

Step 3: Professional Review and Quality Assurance

Once you've submitted your application and uploaded all documents, your case enters our professional review queue. This is where our service truly distinguishes itself from DIY applications. Your application is assigned to an experienced visa consultant who specializes in Brazil visas for US citizens. This expert reviews every detail of your application with a trained eye, checking for completeness, accuracy, and compliance with current Brazilian visa requirements.

Our visa consultants verify that all information in your application matches your supporting documents exactly. Even small discrepancies like slightly different spellings of names or transposed numbers can cause application delays or rejections. We catch and correct these issues before submission. We also ensure your passport meets all validity and condition requirements, your photograph complies with all specifications, and your financial documentation adequately demonstrates your ability to support yourself in Brazil.

The expert review includes a comprehensive evaluation of your travel itinerary and purpose of visit. We ensure your stated purpose aligns with the visa type you're applying for, your travel dates are consistent across all documents, your accommodation arrangements cover your entire stay, and your business activities (if applicable) are clearly explained and properly documented. This thorough review catches potential red flags or inconsistencies that could trigger additional scrutiny or rejection.

If our visa consultant identifies any issues, missing information, or areas that could be strengthened, you'll receive detailed feedback with specific instructions for corrections or additions. We work with you iteratively until your application is perfect. This collaborative process ensures that when your application is finally submitted, it represents the strongest possible case for approval. Most minor issues can be resolved within 24 hours, and our team is always available to answer questions and provide guidance.

For express processing clients, applications receive immediate priority attention with dedicated handling by our senior visa consultants. Express applications move to the front of the review queue and receive same-day or next-day review depending on submission time. Our express service includes proactive communication where we contact you immediately if any issues or questions arise, rather than waiting for you to respond to automated notifications.

Step 4: Application Submission and Tracking

After your application passes our professional review, we submit it to the appropriate Brazilian visa processing system on your behalf. Our team has established relationships and streamlined processes that facilitate smooth submissions. We ensure your application enters the system correctly with all required fees paid and documentation properly attached. You'll receive immediate confirmation of submission including a unique tracking number you can use to monitor your application status.

Once submitted, your application enters the Brazilian visa processing workflow. Processing times vary based on the processing speed you selected (regular or express) and current processing volumes. Regular processing typically takes 3-7 business days from submission to approval, while express processing usually completes within 1-3 business days. These timeframes are generally accurate, though occasional delays can occur during peak travel seasons or due to additional security checks.

Throughout the processing period, we actively monitor your application status on your behalf. Our system checks for updates multiple times per day and immediately notifies you of any status changes or actions required. If the visa authorities request additional information or documentation, we'll contact you promptly with details about what's needed and help you provide it quickly. This active monitoring and support continues until your visa is approved and delivered.

You can also track your application status yourself through our online portal using your unique tracking number. The portal shows your application's current stage in the process, estimated completion date, and history of all status updates. You'll receive automated email notifications at key milestones including submission confirmation, document receipt acknowledgment, application under review, additional information requests (if any), and final approval. This transparency keeps you informed and reduces anxiety about your application status.

Step 5: Visa Approval and Delivery

When your Brazil eVisa is approved, you'll receive immediate notification via email from our system. The approval email includes your official eVisa document as a PDF attachment. This PDF is your official Brazil visa that you'll need to present when entering Brazil. We recommend downloading the PDF to multiple devices, printing several copies for your trip, and keeping digital backups in cloud storage or email for easy access during your travels.

Your Brazil eVisa document contains important information including your full name, passport number, visa type, validity dates, number of entries permitted, and maximum stay duration. It also includes a unique visa number and barcode that Brazilian immigration officials will scan upon your arrival. The visa document is in Portuguese and English, making it easy to read and verify your visa details before your trip.

The validity period of your Brazil visa depends on the type of visa and purpose of visit. Most tourist visas are valid for multiple years (often up to 10 years), allowing multiple entries to Brazil during that period. However, each individual stay is limited to 90 days. Business visas typically have similar validity periods. Transit visas are usually valid for shorter periods corresponding to your travel dates. Your specific visa validity dates are clearly shown on your eVisa document.

After receiving your approved eVisa, we send a follow-up email with important information about traveling to Brazil with your eVisa. This includes guidance on what to present at immigration, information about entry requirements and customs regulations, tips for a smooth entry process, and contact information for support if you encounter any issues. Our customer support remains available even after visa approval to answer any questions about using your visa or traveling to Brazil.

What Happens If Additional Information Is Requested?

In some cases, the Brazilian visa authorities may request additional information or documentation to support your application. This is not unusual and doesn't necessarily indicate a problem with your application. Additional requests commonly involve clarification of travel plans, additional financial documentation, more detailed business information, or updated documents if something has changed since your original submission. If additional information is requested, you'll receive detailed notification explaining exactly what's needed.

When additional information is requested, our visa consultants immediately reach out to help you understand what's needed and how to provide it effectively. We review the request with you, explain what the visa officers are looking for, help you gather or prepare the required information, and submit it on your behalf through the proper channels. Our experience with these requests means we can usually fulfill them quickly, minimizing any delay to your application processing.

Response time is critical when additional information is requested. Most requests come with a deadline, typically 7-10 business days, by which you must provide the requested materials or your application may be denied. Our team works diligently to ensure you respond well before the deadline. For express processing clients, we treat additional information requests with the same priority as the original application, providing immediate support to fulfill the request quickly.

Additional Frequently Asked Questions

Can I work in Brazil with a tourist or business visa?

No, tourist and business visas do not permit you to work in Brazil or receive payment from Brazilian sources. Tourist visas are strictly for leisure activities including sightseeing, visiting friends and family, and cultural activities. Business visas allow you to attend meetings, conferences, negotiations, and explore business opportunities, but do not authorize employment or productive work. If you plan to work in Brazil, you need a specific work visa (VITEM V), which has different requirements including a job offer from a Brazilian employer and labor authorization. Working on a tourist or business visa is illegal and can result in deportation and future entry bans.

What if I lose my passport while in Brazil?

If you lose your passport while in Brazil, you need to take immediate action. First, report the loss to local Brazilian police and obtain a police report (this will be needed for your replacement passport). Then, contact the nearest US Embassy or Consulate in Brazil immediately. The US Embassy can issue an emergency passport or temporary travel document to allow you to return to the United States. You'll need to provide proof of US citizenship (bring copies of your passport and birth certificate if you have them), the police report, passport photos, and pay applicable fees. Once you have your emergency passport, contact Brazilian Federal Police to regularize your situation as you no longer have your entry stamp. With proper documentation and cooperation with authorities, this situation can be resolved, though it will take time and cause inconvenience.

Do I need a visa if I'm just transiting through Brazil?

It depends on your specific situation. If you're transiting through Brazil with a connecting flight and will remain in the international transit area of the airport without passing through Brazilian immigration, you generally don't need a transit visa. However, if you plan to leave the international transit area, collect checked baggage, switch airports, or stay overnight in Brazil during your transit, you need a Brazil transit visa (VITEM VII). US citizens should obtain a transit visa even for short layovers if they plan to exit the airport. Our transit visa assistance service can help you determine if you need a visa based on your specific itinerary and process your application quickly.

Can I extend my stay in Brazil beyond 90 days?

Yes, it's possible to extend your stay in Brazil beyond the initial 90-day period, but it requires approval from Brazilian Federal Police (Polícia Federal) and must be requested before your authorized stay expires. To apply for an extension, visit a Federal Police office in Brazil with your passport, proof of financial means, evidence of accommodation, and valid justification for the extension such as medical reasons, family circumstances, or compelling business needs. Extensions are granted at the discretion of Brazilian authorities and are not guaranteed. The extension, if granted, is typically for an additional 90 days, bringing your total stay to 180 days maximum within a 12-month period. You must pay a fee for the extension. Never overstay your authorized period hoping to regularize later – always apply for extensions before your current authorization expires.

What is the difference between a Brazil eVisa and a visa stamp?

A Brazil eVisa is an electronic visa authorization that exists in digital format and is stored in Brazilian government systems. You receive it as a PDF document via email rather than a physical stamp in your passport. Traditional visa stamps are physical stickers or stamps placed directly in your passport at consulates or upon arrival. Brazil eVisas offer several advantages including no need to mail your passport or visit a consulate, faster processing through online systems, electronic storage with no risk of passport damage, and easy replacement if lost (just reprint the PDF). When you enter Brazil with an eVisa, immigration officers can verify it electronically, and you'll receive an entry stamp (not a visa stamp) in your passport recording your arrival. The eVisa itself is never stamped into your passport – it remains electronic throughout.

How early should I apply for my Brazil visa before travel?

We recommend applying for your Brazil visa at least 2-3 weeks before your planned travel date. This timeframe allows for our professional review process, normal processing times, and any potential requests for additional information without cutting it too close to your departure. However, don't apply too far in advance either – we recommend not applying more than 6 months before your trip. While your visa will be valid for years once issued, applying too early means you'll use up some of that validity period before your first trip. For travelers with urgent needs, our express processing can handle applications as close as one week before travel, though earlier is always safer to accommodate any unforeseen circumstances.

What if my Brazil visa application is taking longer than expected?

If your Brazil visa application is taking longer than the standard processing time, first check your email for any communication from our team or the visa authorities. Sometimes additional information is requested, and the processing clock pauses until you respond. Check your spam folder as well to ensure you haven't missed any emails. You can also check your application status using your tracking number in our online portal. If you don't see any issues or requests and the processing is simply taking longer, contact our 24/7 customer support team for assistance. We can check the status with the authorities, provide updates, and if necessary, follow up on your behalf. During peak travel seasons, processing can occasionally take a few days longer than usual, but our team actively monitors all applications and will proactively reach out if there are any concerns or unusual delays.

Can I apply for a Brazil visa if I've been denied a US visa?

Yes, you can apply for a Brazil visa even if you've been denied a US visa or visas from other countries. Each country makes independent visa decisions based on their own criteria. A denial from one country doesn't automatically affect applications to other countries. However, you must answer honestly if your Brazil visa application asks about previous visa denials. Lying on a visa application is grounds for automatic rejection and can result in future bans. If you have previous denials, it's especially important to submit a strong Brazil visa application with complete documentation. Our professional review service can help you prepare the best possible application. Consider including a brief explanation of the previous denial circumstances if given an opportunity, but focus on demonstrating why you're a good candidate for a Brazil visa based on your current circumstances.

What if I made a mistake on my Brazil visa application?

If you realize you made a mistake on your Brazil visa application, the best course of action depends on whether the application has already been submitted. If you're still completing the application in our system and haven't yet submitted it for review, you can simply edit the information before submitting. If your application is currently under review by our visa consultants, contact our support team immediately to explain the mistake. We can often correct errors during our review process before submission to Brazilian authorities. If your application has already been submitted to the Brazilian visa system, contact us urgently. Minor errors like small typos may not significantly affect your application, but major errors (wrong passport number, incorrect dates, wrong visa type) could lead to rejection. In some cases, it may be necessary to withdraw the application and submit a new one with correct information, though this can delay your processing and may require additional fees.

Is travel insurance required for a Brazil visa?

Travel insurance is not currently required for Brazil visa applications or entry into Brazil for US citizens. You won't need to provide proof of insurance as part of your visa application. However, travel insurance is strongly recommended for any international travel, including to Brazil. Medical care in Brazil can be expensive for foreigners, especially in private hospitals. Comprehensive travel insurance protects you from unexpected medical expenses, trip cancellations or interruptions, lost luggage, and other travel mishaps. Many travel insurance policies also include emergency medical evacuation coverage, which can be crucial if you need specialized treatment or need to return to the US for medical reasons. When purchasing travel insurance, ensure it covers medical expenses, emergency medical evacuation, trip cancellation and interruption, baggage loss and delay, and has adequate coverage limits for your trip duration and activities planned.

Can I volunteer in Brazil with a tourist visa?

Volunteering in Brazil on a tourist visa is a gray area that depends on the nature and circumstances of the volunteer work. Short-term, unpaid volunteering for charitable causes is generally tolerated on tourist visas, especially if it's a small part of a primarily tourist trip. However, extended volunteer work or volunteer positions that would typically be paid employment require a different visa category. If you're planning significant volunteer work in Brazil, it's safer to apply for a temporary visa (VITEM I) designated for unpaid work, cultural activities, or study. This requires sponsorship from the Brazilian organization you'll be volunteering with. For short-term, casual volunteering as part of a tourist trip, a tourist visa is typically acceptable, but be prepared to explain your activities if questioned by immigration officials. Never describe volunteer work as your primary purpose for visiting Brazil on a tourist visa application – focus on tourism as your main purpose with volunteering as a secondary activity.
