Full advice

Violent crime.

Violent crime, often involving weapons, is common, especially in large cities. Most crime is opportunistic. Common examples which involve tourists include the theft of valuables at the beach or from bags and valuables snatched while sightseeing. Tourists have also been robbed at knife or gunpoint. Local authorities advise against taking valuables and passports to the beach. Carry a photocopy of your passport or another form of identity.

Muggings and other violent crimes are common in and around:

  • tourist spots, hotels, nightclubs and bars
  • historical centres
  • public transport
  • public beaches
  • outdoor markets
  • unregistered taxis
  • ATMs and currency exchange facilities

Other common crimes include:

  • home invasion
  • food and drink spiking
  • sexual assault
  • kidnapping  and scams

In Rio de Janeiro, crime hotspots include:

  • Copacabana Beach
  • Ipanema Beach
  • the Santa Teresa area
  • the Lapa neighbourhood
  • the Christ the Redeemer statue
  • the Corcovado Trail

In São Paulo, crime hotspots are in the downtown area and around the historical centre of the city and include:

  • around the São Paulo Cathedral
  • Station of light (Estação da Luz)
  • Princess Isabel Square
  • Central market

In Brasilia, crime hotspots include the central bus station and two adjacent shopping centres. 

Crime levels in shanty towns, or 'favelas', and many satellite cities are especially high.

Crimes relating to drug trafficking and illicit goods are common along Brazil's western and northern border areas. Affected areas include:

  • the states of Amazonas, Acre, Rondônia, Mato Grosso, Roraima, Pará and Amapa
  • the tri-border area of Argentina, Brazil (Foz do Iguaçu city) and Paraguay

Your safety is your main priority. Don't chase after a perpetrator or resist. Criminals may be armed and, if challenged, they may respond with violence. They will often have accomplices nearby. If you're robbed, report it to the local police.

To protect yourself from violent crime:

  • avoid crime hotspots, especially late at night
  • stay alert in public places, especially where there are lots of people, including other tourists
  • leave valuables and passport in a hotel safe
  • keep mobile devices and other valuables out of sight
  • keep your belongings and baggage close to you when you're outside
  • lock the doors and windows of your accommodation, including balcony doors
  • avoid going out alone, especially at night
  • avoid isolated areas on the beach
  • don't leave your luggage, food or drinks unattended
  • never accept drinks, food, gum or cigarettes from people you've just met
  • don't enter favelas, even with a tour group

If you're a victim of violent crime, including rape, seek immediate medical help. The risk of HIV/AIDS is high.

Female survivors of domestic violence or sexual assault can access a dedicated hotline that provides access to local support services, including police, by calling 180 or via the WhatsApp phone messaging application on +55 61 99610 0180.

Partying safely

Crime levels increase before and during festivals such as Carnaval, with tourists frequently being targeted.

Make sure you follow these tips: 

  • watch out for drink spiking and know your alcohol limits
  • don’t use drugs – penalties for drug offences in Brazil are high
  • don’t drink and drive – penalties are severe for driving with a blood-alcohol reading over 0%
  • keep your valuables out of sight, as petty crime, such as bag or phone snatching, is common
  • be mindful of where you’re going, get recommendations from your hotel and plan your transport options in advance

More information:

Scammers take advantage of people looking for romantic partners, often via dating websites, apps or social media, by pretending to be prospective companions. Be wary of any online invitation you receive to travel to an unfamiliar location, especially if the location is changed at late notice and if someone is offering romance. The scammer may kidnap you and force you to transfer or withdraw money and then extort your loved ones for more money to secure your release.

Take caution when purchasing food and beverages from vendors, especially at the beach when paying by card. Confirm the price before and check the figure on the card machine is correct and hasn't been inflated. Don’t give your card to the vendor when making payments.

  • Theft and robbery
  • Scams that affect travellers

Cyber security 

You may be at risk of cyber-based threats during overseas travel to any country. Digital identity theft is a growing concern. Your devices and personal data can be compromised, especially if you’re connecting to Wi-Fi, using or connecting to shared or public computers, or to Bluetooth.

Social media can also be risky in destinations where there are social or political tensions, or laws that may seem unreasonable by Australian standards. Travellers have been arrested for things they have said on social media. Don't comment on local or political events on your social media.

  • Cyber security when travelling overseas

Kidnapping occurs across the world with political, ideological and criminal motives. Foreigners, including Australians, have been kidnapped overseas while travelling. Kidnaps can happen anywhere, anytime, including in destinations that are typically at lower risk. The Australian Government's longstanding policy is that it doesn't make payments or concessions to kidnappers.

Kidnappings occur in Brazil, and in some cases, individuals of perceived wealth are targeted. There have been instances of kidnapping-for-ransom, express, tiger, and virtual kidnappings. There were more express and tiger kidnaps in Brazil than in any other country worldwide during the first half of 2023.

Civil unrest and political tension

Large-scale protests are common. Public protests and events that draw large crowds can turn violent and authorities have used tear gas and other riot-control measures.

Demonstrations and protests often interrupt traffic and public transport.

During periods of unrest:

  • avoid protests and rallies
  • monitor the news for possible unrest and avoid those areas
  • if a protest occurs, leave if it's safe to do so
  • prepare for long waits and be ready to adjust your travel plans
  • follow instructions from the local authorities

You should follow the instructions of local authorities and review our guidance on  staying safe when there are demonstrations .

  • Demonstrations and civil unrest

Terrorism is a threat worldwide.

Major events are attractive targets for terrorists.

To protect yourself from terrorism:

  • be alert to possible threats
  • report suspicious activity or items to police
  • monitor the news for emerging threats
  • take official warnings seriously
  • follow the advice from local authorities

If there's an attack, leave the affected area straight away if you can.

Avoid the affected area after an attack in case there are secondary attacks.

Swimming safety

Many beaches, including in Rio de Janeiro and Fortaleza, have strong, dangerous rips.

Shark attacks are possible, especially at many north-eastern beaches. Obey warning signs.

Climate and natural disasters

Brazil experiences severe droughts and flooding.

If there's a  natural disaster :

  • secure your passport in a safe, waterproof location
  • keep in contact with your friends and family
  • monitor the media and local sources
  • follow the advice of local authorities

Register with the  Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System  to receive alerts on major disasters.

The wet season is from January to July in the north, November to March in the south and south-east and April to July in the north-east. Landslides, flooding and flash flooding can happen, especially in poorer urban areas. 

It's common for flooding and severe storms to damage transport infrastructure, including roads and bridges and can delay domestic and international flights. Monitor local media for weather advice and follow any instructions given by local authorities.

Staying safe in the heat

If you're travelling during extreme hot weather, plan your days to avoid being outside during the hottest part of the day. If you go out in the heat, rest often and stay in the shade as much as possible.

  • Drink plenty of water. Even if you're not thirsty. Avoid alcohol
  • Wear sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses
  • Wear loose, lightweight, light-coloured clothing

Avoid strenuous outdoor activities such as hiking or biking in extreme hot weather, particularly if you're not usually active or used to high temperatures.

  • Extreme hot weather

Travel insurance

Get comprehensive  travel insurance  before you leave.

Your policy needs to cover all overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation. The Australian Government won't pay for these costs.

If you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel. This applies to everyone, no matter how healthy and fit you are.

If you're not insured, you may have to pay many thousands of dollars up-front for medical care.

  • what activities and care your policy covers
  • that your insurance covers you for the whole time you'll be away

Physical and mental health

If you have immediate concerns for your welfare, or the welfare of another Australian, call the 24-hour Consular Emergency Centre on +61 2 6261 3305 or contact your  nearest Australian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate  to discuss counselling hotlines and services available in your location.

Consider your physical and mental health before you travel, especially if you have an existing medical condition.

See your doctor or travel clinic to:

  • have a basic health check-up
  • ask if your travel plans may affect your health
  • plan any vaccinations you need

Do this at least 8 weeks before you leave.

  • General health advice
  • Healthy holiday tips  (Healthdirect Australia)

Medications

Not all medication available over the counter or by prescription in Australia is available in other countries. Some may even be considered illegal or a controlled substance, even if prescribed by an Australian doctor.

If you plan to bring medication, check if it's legal in Brazil. Take enough legal medicine for your trip.

Carry a copy of your prescription or a dated letter from your doctor stating:

  • what the medication is
  • your required dosage
  • that it's for personal use

Health risks

Insect-borne diseases.

Insect-borne diseases are a serious risk in Brazil.  Yellow fever ,  dengue ,  malaria  and the  zika virus  are common. Other insect-borne diseases include:

  • chikungunya
  • leishmaniasis

You're most at risk during the wet season, in poorer urban areas or in regional areas where there are stagnant bodies of water, including the Pantanal or Amazon.

Take the following steps to avoid insect bites:

  • cover exposed skin with light-coloured long-sleeved shirts and long pants
  • use insect repellents. If you use both sunscreen and insect repellent, apply the sunscreen first and then the repellent
  • treat your clothing and gear with insecticides
  • sleep in screened or air-conditioned rooms. Use bed nets if you can't keep mosquitoes from coming inside the room
  • consider taking anti-malarial medication
  • Infectious diseases
  • Immunisation  (Department of Health and Aged Care)

HIV/AIDS  is a significant risk. Take precautions if you're taking part in activities that put you at risk of infection, such as avoiding contact with contaminated objects and sharing personal items. Practice safe sex. 

Other health risks

There are recurrent  measles  outbreaks in Brazil. To protect yourself, stay up to date with your vaccinations, wash your hands regularly and avoid close contact with people who are sick and wild or domestic animals. 

Food-related, waterborne and other infectious diseases are common, including:

  • bilharzia (schistosomiasis)

To protect yourself from illness:

  • drink boiled water or bottled water with sealed lids
  • avoid ice cubes
  • avoid raw and undercooked food, such as salads
  • avoid contact with dogs and other mammals
  • avoid swimming in fresh water

If you're bitten or scratched by an animal, get medical help immediately.

Make sure your vaccinations are up to date.

  • Measles immunisation service

Medical care

Medical facilities.

You can access free health care at public hospitals and clinics in Brazil. The standard of emergency care is generally high but can vary, with access being more limited and of a lower standard outside of major urban areas.

When accessing public health care, you will likely experience overcrowding, longer wait times and more rudimentary facilities than you are accustomed to in Australia. It is very unlikely your treating doctor will speak English.

Private health care at hospitals and clinics in larger cities is often similar or superior to Australia. Doctors will often speak at least some English. Private medical care is very expensive, even more expensive if you need a medical evacuation. You may be charged upfront or be required to produce proof of insurance prior to receiving treatment.  

Public mental health care facilities are basic and overcrowded with a focus on more severe chronic and acute care, using a pharmaceutical-based treatment approach.

You're subject to all local laws and penalties, including those that may appear harsh by Australian standards. Research local laws before travelling.

If you're arrested or jailed, the Australian Government will do what it can to help you under our  Consular Services Charter . But we can't get you out of trouble or out of jail.

Brazil has severe penalties for possession of or trafficking illegal drugs. These include long sentences in local jails.

  • Carrying or using drugs

You must always carry proof of identity. Carry a photocopy of your passport with some original identification, such as your driver's licence or another government-issued identity document. 

Don't drink and drive, penalties are severe for driving with a blood-alcohol level reading over 0%. 

Australian laws

Some Australian criminal laws still apply when you're overseas. If you break these laws, you may face prosecution in Australia.

  • Staying within the law

Dual citizenship

Dual nationals must enter and exit Brazil using their Brazilian passport.

If you're a dual national male over 18, you'll have to do military service if you stay in Brazil for 12 months.

Contact a  Brazilian embassy or consulate  for advice.

  • Dual nationals

Local customs

Same-sex relationships are legal but aren't always accepted. Avoid public displays of affection.

  • Advice for LGBTI travellers

Visas and border measures

Every country or territory decides who can enter or leave through its borders. For specific information about the evidence you'll need to enter a foreign destination, check with the nearest embassy, consulate or immigration department of the destination you're entering. 

From 10 April, Australian passport holders will be required to obtain a visa to enter Brazil. For more information, contact an  embassy or consulate of Brazil  for details about visas, currency and customs. 

Currently you don't need a visa to enter Brazil for:

  • artistic or sport activities

You can stay in Brazil for 90 days over a 12-month period. This will be counted from the date of your first entry to Brazil. You can also extend your stay for another 90 days. If you require visa advice or assistance, you should contact the Brazilian Federal Police or a visa agency.

In other cases, apply for your visa through an  embassy or consulate of Brazil .

If you plan to live in Brazil, you'll need to get a visa before arrival. The Brazilian Government strongly enforces immigration and entry laws.

If you need a visa and arrive without one, authorities will send you back on the next available flight.

  • Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Travel via Chile

If you’re travelling via Chile, ensure you meet all current entry or transit requirements.

  • Travel advice for Chile

Other formalities

Entry and exit stamps.

When you arrive, authorities will stamp your passport. This may be inspected by immigration authorities when you leave.

If you plan to leave Brazil and return during your trip, get an exit stamp in your passport from Brazilian immigration when you leave.

Yellow fever vaccination

You may need a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate to enter Brazil. Some airlines may want to see a copy when you depart to Australia or other countries.

Find out about returning to Australia  after exposure to yellow fever .

  • Countries with a risk of yellow fever

Travel with children

Dual-national children must enter and exit Brazil using their Brazilian passports. 

Brazilian and dual-national children travelling in the company of only one parent must provide proof of consent to travel from the non-accompanying parent. If you can't produce proof of parental consent, local authorities will stop your children from departing Brazil. Unaccompanied children, or children travelling in the company of a non-parent, will require the consent of both parents.

Parental consent will usually be in the form of an observation note inserted into the child's Brazilian passport when it is issued by the Brazilian authorities. Alternatively, a Brazilian Embassy, Consulate or Juvenile Court can witness and notarise written parental consent or proof of residence outside Brazil.

If one or both parents are deceased, you'll require a death certificate notarised by a Brazilian Embassy, Consulate or Juvenile Court.

Parents of dual-national children should contact a Brazilian embassy or consulate for advice.

  • Advice for people travelling with children

Authorities won't let you enter Brazil unless your passport is valid for at least 6 months from the date of your entry. This may apply even if you're just transiting.

Some immigration authorities and airlines apply the rule inconsistently. Tourists can receive conflicting advice from different sources. You can end up stranded if your passport is not valid for more than 6 months.

The Australian Government does not set these rules. Check your passport's expiry date before you travel. If you're not sure it'll be valid for long enough, consider getting  a new passport .

Lost or stolen passport

Your passport is a valuable document. It's attractive to people who may try to use your identity to commit crimes.

Some people may try to trick you into giving them your passport. Always keep it in a safe place.

If your passport is lost or stolen, tell the Australian Government as soon as possible:

  • In Australia, contact the  Australian Passport Information Service .
  • If you're overseas, contact the nearest  Australian embassy or consulate .

Passport with ‘X’ gender identifier 

Although Australian passports comply with international standards for sex and gender, we can’t guarantee that a passport showing 'X' in the sex field will be accepted for entry or transit by another country. Contact the nearest embassy, high commission or consulate of your destination  before you arrive at the border to confirm if authorities will accept passports with 'X' gender markers.

  • LGBTI travellers

The local currency is the Brazilian Real (BRL).

Declare amounts over USD 10,000 (or foreign currency equivalent) when you arrive and depart. This includes all forms of currency, not just cash. US dollars are the easiest to exchange. Credit cards are widely accepted. 

Ask your bank in Australia if your ATM card will work and if it has an affiliate bank in Brazil, as some local machines may be unreliable.

Credit card fraud and ATM tampering are widespread. Check your bank statements for unauthorised charges. To combat fraud and theft, many ATMs may limit the amount you can withdraw per day. 

Local travel

Remote areas.

You're at risk of becoming lost or injured while trekking in remote parts of Brazil. This includes the Amazon border regions and the Pantanal wetlands.

Use an experienced guide.

Driving permit

You can drive in Brazil for up to 180 days after your arrival, as long as you carry a valid Australian driver’s licence. It is also recommended that you carry a translation of your licence. After this period, you will need to obtain a local driver’s licence.

Road travel

You're more likely to die in a motor vehicle accident in Brazil than in Australia.

Hazards on the road include:

  • aggressive driving
  • poorly maintained roads
  • large numbers of trucks and other slow vehicles on main routes

Traffic lights are often not obeyed, especially at night in larger cities. Don't assume cars will stop.

Carjacking and other vehicle-related crimes can occur. To stay safe while driving and guard against carjacking:

  • keep vehicle doors locked, windows up, and valuables out of sight, even when moving
  • make sure your GPS route isn't via a favela — if in doubt, ask your hotel or tour guide
  • be alert to threats, including when stopped in traffic
  • when stopped in traffic, including at traffic lights, be alert to threats and maintain extra distance from other cars.
  • always approach your car with the keys ready
  • don't stay in a parked vehicle

If you plan to drive:

  • check you have enough insurance
  • learn local traffic laws and practices
  • don't drink and drive – penalties are severe for driving with a blood-alcohol reading over 0%
  • guard against carjacking and other vehicle-related crimes

If you're in an accident:

  • call 193 for the fire department if there are injuries
  • call 190 for the police if there are no injuries
  • Driving or riding

Motorcycles

Check if your insurance policy covers you when using a motorbike, quad bike or similar vehicle.

Always wear a helmet.

Registered taxis, rideshares such as Uber and the metro are generally safe. To reduce your risk:

  • only use licensed taxis or rideshare booked through apps
  • find out what transport services are available at the airport before you travel; most airports have licenced taxi desks inside the baggage reclaim areas and allow payment before travel
  • follow signage or advice of authorities to official taxi services only
  • always ask if the driver will use the meter, or agree on the fare before you get in a taxi
  • ensure you enter the vehicle with the same plate number and name as shown in the app, and don't get into a taxi or rideshare if other passengers are already inside.
  • avoid using motorcycle taxis

Public transport

Brazil has a well-developed network of inter-city buses, as well as metro systems in some of the major cities such as Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.

Travel can be risky due to poor vehicle maintenance, local driving habits and petty crime.

Be alert when using public transport, especially during busy times and at night.

Criminals often work in gangs robbing people gathered in the same place. Public transport hubs can be hotspots.

People have reported hijacking and  robbery  of tour buses in recent years.

  • Transport and getting around safely

Boat travel

International cruise liners visit Brazil.

Commercial riverboats are common in some parts. Keep your belongings close.

Tourist operators often use basic vessels for river outings in jungle areas.

You should always wear a life jacket.

Piracy happens, particularly in the north-east. Pirates have also attacked cruise ships and lodges along the Amazon River.

The International Maritime Bureau (IMB) issues  piracy reports  on its website.

  • Going on a cruise
  • Travelling by boat

Domestic and international flight delays are common. Airport strikes also occur.

Ask your travel agent if your itinerary allows for delays.

Be prepared for the possibility of extended waits at airports.

If you need to make or change airline bookings while in Brazil, ensure your payment method will be accepted.

Most major airlines, such as LATAM, Gol and Azul, accept international credit cards, although some may only accept them on their international websites. 

Travel and tour agents may also have restrictions. You may need to pay cash at the airline office or ask your Australian travel provider.

DFAT doesn't provide information on the safety of individual commercial airlines or flight paths.

Check  Brazil's air safety profile  with the Aviation Safety Network.

Emergencies

Depending on what you need, contact your:

  • family and friends
  • travel agent
  • insurance provider

Operators may not speak English.

Tourist Police who speak English are available in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and at some major airports.

Rio de Janeiro Special Police Unit for Tourism Support Av. Afrânio de Melo Franco, 159 Leblon, Rio de Janeiro – RJ Phone: +55 21 2334 6802 or +55 21 2332 2924

São Paulo Special Police Unit for Tourism Support Rua da Cantareira, 390 Centro, São Paulo - SP Phone: +55 11 3257 4475

Always get a police report when you report a crime.

Your insurer should have a 24-hour emergency number.

From brazil here’s all your options for visas to australia.

Just like Brazil, Australia offers its visitors a unique lifestyle, breathtaking scenery and diverse wildlife.

There are also great opportunities to pursue study or work here. Irrespective of whether you want to live, work, holiday or study in Australia, you must first apply for and be granted a visa. There are many visa options for Brazilians wanting to come to Australia.

The Australian Government’s Department of Immigration and Border Protection is the governing body for the granting of visas. But, with dozens of visa available, how do you know which one is right for you? It can be a difficult and confusing process.

Make a mistake and it will cost you time and money, and may even deny you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The considerations that govern the type of visa you may be entitled to apply for include:

• The reason why you want to come to Australia: Holiday, work, study or to live here? • How long you want to stay • Your age, state of health and whether you are a person of good character • Whether you want to bring a dependant or sponsor relatives to Australia • The extent to which you will need to travel outside of Australia once you arrive

Obtaining the correct visa will enable you to enter Australia and stay here for a specified period of time. However, you must comply with the conditions attaching to the visa. Some allow you to work or study in Australia. Others don’t. For this reason it’s crucial you choose the correct visa. The focus of this article will be on just some of the visa options for Brazilians who want to travel to Australia to holiday, live, work or study.

Visas for Brazilians wanting to visit or stay short-term in Australia

You will need a visa if you want to come to Australia from Brazil for a holiday, to visit relatives or even for a brief stopover. A Transit visa (subclass 771) will allow you to enter Australia and remain here for up to 72 hours.

This visa is ideal if you need to pass through Australia on the way to another country, however, if you want to stay in Australia for longer than 72 hours, you must consider other options, such as applying for a Visitor visa (subclass 600).

It allows you to travel to Australia and stay for up to 3, 6 or 12 months to visit family, engage in certain business activities or as a tourist. If you hold a valid Brazilian passport you can make an application for this visa online but cannot apply for the cheaper e-Visitor visa (subclass 651).

Visas for Brazilians wishing to Work in Australia

There are fantastic opportunities for Brazilians wanting to work in Australia. Our countries share many similarities. Brazil’s growing economic prosperity has given rise to a workforce that is highly-skilled and well-suited to the demands of the Australian labour market. However, skills and experience alone aren’t enough. Your first hurdle is understanding your options and getting the right visa.

There are more than 20 visa options for Brazilians hoping to work in Australia. Deciding which visa to apply for depends on a lot of things including:

• The type of work you do and the industry you work in • Your age • Your skills, experience, specialisation or qualifications • Whether you have been nominated by an approved Australian employer • How long you want to work in Australia • Your English language proficiency

Most of the visa options enabling Brazilians to work in Australia have strict prerequisites relating to skill and qualifications. It is very difficult to successfully obtain a working visa if you are unskilled.

For example, many young people come to Australia hoping to combine travel with unskilled, seasonal work…a ‘working holiday’. Sadly, as a Brazilian, you are not entitled to apply for a Working Holiday visa (subclass 417) because Brazil is not currently an ‘eligible country’ participating in the Working Holiday Program with Australia. Understanding which work visa options are open to you as a Brazilian ensures that you avoid unnecessary disappointment.

Visas for Studying in Australia

Australia boasts competitive range of educational opportunities for Brazilians wanting to pursue educational opportunities here. However, your visa options are affected by a number of things:

• The type of study you are going to be doing • The qualification you will gain when you complete the course, and • Your education provider

The Higher Education Sector visa (subclass 573) allows you to stay in Australia to study a full-time tertiary course. This visa imposes a strict restriction on the number of hours you can work whilst undertaking the course. There may be other visa options better suited to your circumstances if you want to come to Australia to do post-graduate research or workplace-based training. They include:

• The Post Graduate Research visa (subclass 574) • The Training and Research visa (subclass 402)

Alternatively, if you plan to travel to Australia to complete a full-time English Language Intensive Course for Overseas Students (ELICOS), there is a specific visa to suit your circumstances, the Independent ELICOS Sector visa (subclass 570).

These are just a few examples of the many visa options open to Brazilians wishing to travel to Australia to further their education and training.

H2>Visas for Brazilians seeking to live in Australia

Perhaps you have married or are living with or an Australian or want to join a parent, child or other family member already here. There is a confusing array of different visa options for Brazilians who want to come and live in Australia. Here are just a few:

Partner visas

There are several options if you to travel to Australia to join an Australian partner. You can apply for a temporary visa but it won’t give you the peace of mind, benefits and entitlements of a permanent visa: Access to Medicare, social security benefits and the right to later sponsor relatives to Australia or apply for citizenship. Understanding your options and applying for the right visa is crucial. A Permanent Partner visa (subclass 100) has very stringent requirements. They relate to the type of relationship you are in, how long you have been together and whether you have any children.. For example, if you are married, it must be valid under Australian law. A same-sex relationship would not be recognised as valid. There are many additional prerequisites you must satisfy. Applying for this type of visa can be a complex and drawn-out process.

If you are Brazilian but have an Australian child, you can apply for a Contributory Parent Visa (subclass 143). This visa would allow you to live permanently in Australia. Many applicants for this visa are sponsored to Australia by their children.

This is a more expensive visa. Your sponsor might need to provide an ‘assurance of support’ and a bond. This is a legally enforceable promise made by your sponsor (child) to the Australian government that they will support you financially. There is a temporary version of this visa, the Contributory Parent (Temporary) visa (subclass 173). However, it would only allows you to stay in Australia for up to two years.

A Parent visa (subclass 103) is open to an applicant who is the parent of a child who has settled in Australia to apply to come to Australia permanently. There are significant delays involved in the processing of these applications. This is because there are many more applicants than visas available.

A Parent visa doesn’t have the same financial liabilities for the sponsor as a Contributory Parent Visa. That’s why it’s so important to know which of your visa options is best suited to your circumstances.

An Aged Dependent Relative visa (subclass 838) is another type of permanent visa that entitles a successful applicant to remain permanently in Australia so long as they will be financially supported by an eligible relative in Australia.

There are age and health criteria that apply as these visas are reserved for those who are dependent on a relative in Australia for basic requirements such as food, clothing and shelter. Applying for the wrong visa can delay the process. In the context of an elderly or ill relative needing to come to Australia, delay can be disastrous.

Risks of getting it wrong

Knowing which visa is appropriate to your circumstances is crucial to the success of your application. Applying for the wrong visa can be costly in a number of ways:

• Your application may be delayed • You could incur additional expenses • Your application for a visa may be refused altogether • If you obtain the wrong visa and later breach its conditions you might be deported and might not be able to re-enter Australia for up to 3 years

Perhaps the most important thing to know is when and where to get help, particularly if your circumstances are complex. Getting expert assistance from an experienced and respected immigration lawyer and migration agent will speed up the process and assist you to identify and secure the correct visa.

You want your trip to Australia to be free from unnecessary stress, heartache and delay. That’s much more likely if you understand which visa option is best for you.

Do I need a visa to visit Brazil?

Bailey Freeman

Sep 28, 2023 • 3 min read

Brazil is a vast country, home to a treasure trove of diverse travel experiences. Enchanting rainforests, sprawling wetlands, buzzing cities and perfect beaches all make for spectacular stops on your itinerary. 

But before you go, make sure you have your visa paperwork sorted. Here's what you need to know about Brazil’s visa policies.

Will I need to get a visa before going to Brazil?

Brazil offers different visas depending on the purpose of your travel and your country of origin. The country’s visa system is largely based on reciprocity: if Brazilian citizens can travel to the country in question without a visa, those citizens can travel to Brazil without a visa for any reason as well. The only exceptions to this rule are the United States, Australia, Canada and Japan – travelers from these countries can now visit Brazil for tourism without a visa, thanks to a policy change in July 2019. 

But citizens of dozens of other countries can also travel to Brazil without a visa; check this  Brazilian consulate general website  for a comprehensive list. Visitors who don’t require visas can stay in Brazil for up to 90 days per entry, and they can’t exceed 180 days within 12 months. Travelers need to have a valid passport with at least two blank pages left.

Types of tourist visas for Brazil

For citizens of countries who do need a visa to enter Brazil, the primary tourist visa is the VIVIS, which covers tourism and business travel. Traveling for business does require some additional paperwork, including a letter from the applicant’s employer on company letterhead detailing the applicant’s job, the purpose of the trip, the length of the trip and other employment details. Check your nearest consulate’s website for a full list of business letter requirements.

Visa costs vary depending on the traveler’s country of origin. The visa costs US$180 for Angolan citizens, $85 for Algerian citizens, and $115 for Chinese citizens. The cost for travelers from all other countries is $80. Applications for visas can only be completed through Brazil’s E-consular platform . Apply for your visa well in advance of your trip in case there are system delays.

Visas for working are known as VITEM VI visas, and they allow visa holders to work and study in Brazil for up to 90 days in a 12-month period. The following countries are exempt from having to apply for the VITEM visa: Austria, Chile, Colombia, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, the Netherlands, Paraguay, Philippines, Poland, Spain, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United Kingdom.

Can I extend my visa for Brazil?

Extensions aren’t available for every country – check with your local Brazilian consulate. If an extension is available to you, it will be granted by the Federal Police Department in Brazil. Note that your total stay still can’t exceed 180 days in 12 months. 

Do I need a yellow fever vaccine to enter Brazil?

Brazil doesn’t require a yellow fever vaccination to enter, but it does recommend getting the vaccine if you are headed to any of the following states: Acre, Amapá, Amazonas, Distrito Federal, Goiás, Maranhão, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Pará, Rondonia, Roraima and Tocantins.

Do Australian citizens need a Brazil eVisa?

Australian citizens planning to visit Brazil should be aware of the upcoming changes to visa requirements. Starting from April 10, 2024, all Australian travelers must secure a Brazil eVisa for their journey .

This requirement was initially set to commence on October 1, 2023, but faced delays. The Brazilian government first moved the date to January 10, 2024, then postponed it to April 10, 2024. Australian nationals traveling before this date can still enjoy visa-free entry to Brazil, even if their return is scheduled after April 10 .

The Brazil eVisa is designed for Australians traveling for tourism , business , or transit purposes. It allows for stays of up to 90 days and remains valid for five years , permitting multiple entries into Brazil.

Applying for your Brazil eVisa through our website simplifies the application process, making it more approachable and less time-consuming than handling it yourself.
