Do I Need a Brazil Visa?
UAE nationals travel to Brazil visa-free for up to 90 days per entry, under the reciprocal visa-waiver agreement in place since 2018. Confirm your permitted activities before travel, since visa-free entry doesn't cover paid work or long-term stays.
Eligible passport holders may be required to obtain Brazil's official eVisa before travel. Check the current commencement date, eligibility rules and official portal before applying.
Many nationalities require a consular visitor visa. The correct route, supporting documents and whether personal attendance is required must be confirmed for the applicant's passport and residence.
The Brazil e-Visa is not available to most UAE residents. If you hold an Indian, Pakistani, Filipino, or similar passport, you'll apply for a consular visa through the Brazilian Embassy in Abu Dhabi, this includes a mandatory in-person interview, not just document submission.
Indian and Pakistani passport holders make up a large share of Brazil visa applicants from the UAE — see our dedicated guide for passport-specific requirements. Unlike some other countries, Brazil visa applications aren't processed through VFS, you apply directly through the Brazilian Embassy in Abu Dhabi.
