Discover visa requirements for your trip
Australian citizens need an e-Visa to travel to Brazil. It is applied for online before departure through the official portal.
Brazil requires an electronic visa from Australian travellers planning a tourist or business stay. The application is completed entirely online, through the official portal operated by VFS Global, before boarding. Your Australian passport must be valid for at least six months.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Australian nationals are not exempt and must obtain an e-Visa before travelling to Brazil. There is no visa on arrival for this nationality: the electronic authorisation must be approved before you board your flight to Brazil.
How and where to apply
The application is made online on the official Brazil e-Visa portal (brazil.vfsevisa.com). You complete the form, upload your photo and passport, then pay the fee online. The approved visa is emailed to you electronically and should be presented on arrival.
Documents and fees
Prepare an Australian passport valid for at least six months, a compliant passport photo, proof of travel (a return ticket) and, where relevant, proof of accommodation. The fee amount and validity period must be checked directly on the official portal before payment.
Processing and tips
Apply well in advance, as processing can take several business days. Check the permitted length of stay per entry and the validity window of the e-Visa. Keep both a printed and a digital copy of the authorisation for Brazilian immigration.
Common mistakes
Do not book a non-refundable flight before your e-Visa is approved. Make sure your details match your passport exactly, and apply only through the official portal to avoid third-party sites that charge extra fees.
