Visa-free countries for Brazilians in 2026: the full list

With a Brazilian passport you can visit 175 countries and territories without going to an embassy. 111 of them are fully visa-free: you show your passport at the border and walk in.

The list below uses the same data as our Brazil passport page, so the two always match. When we confirm a rule change with an official source, both update together.

Four ways in without an embassy

• Visa-free: no application. Show your passport, and usually a return ticket, at the border.
• Visa on arrival: you get the visa at the airport or border when you land. A fee may apply.
• eTA: a short online travel authorisation, applied for before you fly.
• eVisa: a full visa, but you apply on the official government website. No embassy visit.

All four count as "no embassy". Only the last two need an online application before you travel.

Deadlines and changes to know in 2026

Visa lists age quickly. These are the rules we have confirmed that matter most for Brazilians right now:

• China: visa-free for 30 days, until 31 December 2026. Brazil is on China's list of countries whose citizens can enter without a visa, but the permission ends with 2026 unless China extends it. See China's visa-free deadline.
• Thailand: still visa-free for 90 days. Thailand's reform of 15 September 2026 cut visa-free stays for many countries, but Brazilians keep 90 days. See Thailand's new visa rules.
• South Korea: K-ETA before you fly. Visa-exempt visitors need a K-ETA (KRW 10,000). Brazil is not among the 22 countries temporarily exempt until the end of 2026.
• Israel: ETA-IL (since 1 January 2025). Travellers from visa-exempt countries need an approved ETA-IL before travel.
• Saint Kitts and Nevis: eTA (since 26 May 2025). Every visitor needs an approved eTA (US$17) before departure.
• Chad: online visa only (since 11 May 2026). Every visa application for Chad is now made on evisa.td. See Africa's visa changes in 2026.
• Somalia (since 1 September 2025), Mauritania (since 5 January 2025) and Ghana (since 25 May 2026): visas are applied for online on the official portals before travel.
• Liberia: online visa on arrival (since 11 March 2025). Apply on visaonarrival.lis.gov.lr before travel and the visa is affixed at Roberts International Airport. If you travel from a country that has a Liberian embassy, apply at the embassy instead.

Europe and ETIAS

Brazilians visit the Schengen area without a visa. The EU's ETIAS travel authorisation, which will apply to visa-free visitors, has no start date in 2026. See when ETIAS starts. You can also change planes in any Schengen or UK airport without a transit visa.

Where Brazilians still need a visa

The list of visa-required destinations is short but includes big ones. The United States needs a visa, also just to change planes there. Australia needs a Visitor visa (subclass 600), lodged online with supporting documents and granted before you travel. The rest are listed on the Brazil passport page under "Visa required".

How we keep this list honest

Our base dataset is a public list of visa requirements for every passport. We compare the Brazilian passport with lists that cite IATA Timatic, the database airlines check at boarding. Whenever they disagree, we change our data only after confirming the rule with an official government source or a legal text. A few destinations are still being checked, so treat any single entry as a starting point and confirm it before you travel.

Rules can change without notice. Before you book, confirm with the destination's official immigration website or embassy.
