Update April 1, 2024: According to news sources, the government is expected to again postpone the reinstatement of the visa requirement for nationals of Australia, Canada and the United States until April 10, 2025. An official decree is expected to be forthcoming in the next few days.

In spite of this and other media articles, the visa requirement has not officially changed. USA, Canada and Australia passport holders will still need the e-visa to enter Brazil as tourists on April 10, 2024. More and more, it looks like last week’s rumor in the travel press was fake news.

The EBC (Brazilian Communication Company, the media branch of the government) has confirmed that as of 5 days ago. I doubt they will be changing it again at this late date. Although Brasil HAS been known to make 11th-hour decisions, even this would be remarkable if they waived the visa requirement now, with less than a day to go. 

On April 10, 2024, at the stroke of midnight, to enter Brazil, you will need a valid tourist visa if your passport is from the USA, Canada or Australia. 

The visa requirements, if changed, will be published in the Diario Oficial da União (DOU). That’s the one and only source. Until then, all remains the same. If you reading or translating Portuguese from the DOU or the Portarias is a bit of a nightmare for you, then you can always check at the IATA Travel Center. You simulate a trip there, and you’ll get a thorough and reliable list of visa requirements and travel recommendations.

Until you get any word from an official Brazilian source, if you’re American, Canadian or Australian. do NOT try to enter Brazil starting on April 10 without the e-visa…. or you'll get your feelings hurt!

The Brazilian consulate confirms that US, Canadian, and Australian passport holders entering Brazil do NOT need an eVisa, if entering Brazil prior to April 10, 2025.

Just 26 minutes before this early morning’s visa expiration deadline (which even by Brazilian bureaucratic standards, is extremely last-minute) the Brazilian Congress and President Lula agreed to a compromise that will extend the visa waiver until April 10, 2025.
