🇧🇷 Brazil: visa, entry rules and travel facts

Brazil builds its visa policy on reciprocity: nationalities whose countries require visas from Brazilians tend to need one in return, usually as an e-visa. Most of Europe and South America enters visa-free, so the rule splits sharply by passport.

A Brazil passport gives visa-free or simplified entry to about 178 countries and territories according to the visa dataset.
