As the world opens up, adventurous travelers like you need to stay up-to-date on the latest rules and regulations. That’s why we’re here to break down three key changes that could impact your upcoming trips.
The Brazilian Visa Requirement
For those planning trips to Brazil, here’s an important update! The Brazilian government has postponed the implementation of new visa requirements for U.S. citizens by one year. The previously announced changes, which would have made visas mandatory for all American travelers effective April 10, 2024, will now go into effect on April 10, 2025.
Beginning April 10, 2025, U.S. citizens will need to obtain a valid Brazilian visa prior to travel, regardless of the purpose or length of their visit. Travelers can check the latest entry requirements on the U.S. State Department’s Brazil travel information page. Our team will keep you informed as further details on the new visa protocols are released to ensure your future trips go smoothly.
