Visas are required for North Americans traveling to Brazil, and are free. However, as the American and Canadian embassies charges a fee for Brazilians applying for a U.S. or Canadian visa, the Brazilian government collects monies for processing visas for North Americans to Brazil. The visa can be obtained from the nearest Brazilian embassy or consulate (see below for U.S. addresses).

Notes:

• The visa application may be copied, but it must be back-to-back, correct side up, on a single sheet of lateral size paper. Children under age 18 not traveling with both parents must provide a notarized consent form, signed by the absent parent(s). This letter must be authenticated by the Brazilian Consulate, fee $20 per page.
