Brazil Visa Cost Calculator

Brazil prices its single-entry tourist visa at $80, covering tourism, family visits and short unpaid business meetings. The multi-entry tier buys repetition rather than duration: $120 covers repeated entries into Brazil within the visa's validity window. Work-adjacent travel — meetings, contract negotiation, site visits — falls under the business visa, priced at $200 for Brazil and documented with a host letter.

Transit visas are the bargain tier: $24 covers a layover in Brazil of 24–72 hours depending on the rules attached to your nationality. Brazil's eVisa fee is paid by card at application time; if your nationality does need a consular visa, budget the same $80 base plus any courier or service charges.

The document set for Brazil is short but strict — valid passport, photo, where you are staying, and proof of funds for the stay. Where you submit depends on the route: eVisa/ETA applicants for Brazil upload documents to the official portal, while visa-free travellers simply carry passport and accommodation proof to immigration. Budget the fee in USD as this calculator does, then expect the actual charge in BRL at the day's rate — a swing of a few dollars either way.

No interview is needed for most tourist applications to Brazil — the file speaks for itself unless something in it is missing. Late bookers pay the express premium — half as much again on the fee to compress Brazil's decision from weeks to days.

The passport rules are absolute — 6 months' validity beyond your Brazil exit date and two clean pages for the visa itself. Photos fail applications quietly: print two spares, keep the digital originals, and use a likeness from the last six months for Brazil's file. Brazil officers look for steady balances rather than lump sums, so statements covering 90 days beat a fresh deposit every time.

Hotel bookings and the return ticket close the loop; Brazil cross-checks the dates across all of them. Business applicants add the Brazil host company's invitation; transit applicants add the confirmed onward ticket — those two categories fail on missing paperwork more than fee errors.

Count on one to three weeks in the standard queue; Brazil publishes business-day estimates that exclude weekends and local holidays. Express handling compresses the wait to 1–3 business days and multiplies the fee by 1.5 — $120 instead of $80 for a tourist visa to Brazil. Most Brazil refusals trace to fixable defects: an expiring passport, thin bank statements, or accommodation that stops a night short of the return flight.

A refusal is not terminal: fix the named defect and reapply — Brazil does not penalise a corrected second application. Track Brazil's eVisa status page rather than your inbox; approval notices land in the portal first and the email second.
