    China ordinary passports: VIVIS visa exemption

    MRE's current Zurich consular guidance says Chinese ordinary passport holders have been exempt from VIVIS since 11 May 2026 for the specified short-visit purposes.

    • The MRE guidance limits the exemption to multiple-entry tourism, business, transit, artistic, or sports visits, for at most 30 days in one year.
    • Longer stays and other purposes require the appropriate physical visa under the MRE guidance.
    • This applies to an ordinary Chinese passport; it does not establish treatment of a PRC Travel Document, Hong Kong SAR passport, Macao SAR passport, Taiwan passport, diplomatic passport, official passport, or another special document.
    • The consular page's country-specific online filing note does not establish a nationality-wide eVisa category for this normalized visitor classification.

    Australia, Canada, and United States ordinary passports: electronic VIVIS

    Australia, Canada, and United States nationals require a Brazilian visitor visa from 10 April 2025 but may obtain the nationally described electronic visitor visa.

    • The MRE source describes this as a visitor visa (VIVIS), not visa-free entry; it is valid only for the visitor purposes and periods the visa grants.
    • The electronic route is expressly described by MRE for these three nationalities. Generic online consular processing for other nationalities is not normalized as eVisa.
    • This policy is limited to ordinary national passports and does not establish a rule for diplomatic, official, service, emergency, refugee, alien, or other special travel documents.
    • A visitor visa does not establish residence or permission for paid employment; entry and admission remain subject to Brazilian immigration control.

    EU–Brazil short-stay visa waiver entered into force

    The reciprocal agreement permits short visa-free stays for citizens of Brazil and European Union member states.

    • Short stays only; work and residence remain outside the waiver.

    Brazilian nationals: outside the foreign VIVIS regime

    The QGRV governs entry of foreigners; a Brazilian national is therefore outside its foreign visitor-visa classification.

    • This citizenship classification does not establish the document requirements for a particular Brazilian national, dual national, carrier, or border route.
    • It does not determine treatment when a dual national presents a different country's ordinary passport.

    QGRV-listed ordinary passports: VIVIS visa exemption

    For these ordinary national passports, the QGRV VIVIS column records a visa dispensation for a short visitor stay. China is handled by the later country-specific MRE update.

    • The QGRV legend limits this policy to the VIVIS column for holders of ordinary passports. PADIP (diplomatic) and PASOF (official or service) columns are separate and are not normalized here.
    • The precise dispensation period is the numbered VIVIS entry and applicable footnote in the QGRV, rather than a single uniform duration; the table uses 30-, 60-, 90-, 180-, and other specified periods.
    • A QGRV # marker permits entry with a civil identity card for the marked nationality. This passport classification neither requires nor generalizes that separate identity-card facility.
    • This policy does not cover a laissez-passer, refugee or alien travel document, diplomatic, official, service, public-affairs, temporary, or other special passport/document.
    • Visa dispensation is not a residence authorization and does not authorize paid work. VIVIS is limited to visitor purposes; a different purpose, a longer stay, or residence requires the applicable immigration route.
    • Admission and the authorized stay remain subject to Brazilian border control and all current entry requirements. Any extension is a separate Polícia Federal process and depends on the applicable QGRV reciprocity rule.

  6. Current official routeVisa required

    QGRV-listed ordinary passports: VIVIS required

    For these ordinary national passports, the QGRV VIVIS column records that a Brazilian visitor visa is required before the short visit.

    • This is limited to the QGRV VIVIS column for an ordinary passport. It does not infer a rule from PADIP, PASOF, residence status, special passport, laissez-passer, refugee document, or alien travel document.
    • The required visa is a visitor visa; purpose, length, and entry conditions are assessed under the visa and ordinary migration rules, and the visa does not itself authorize residence or paid work.
    • For Haitian nationals, the later MRE notice says QGRV was updated to require prior consultation with MRE Brasília for VIVIS. That additional case-management condition remains applicable.
    • For Taiwan, the QGRV's distinct treatment is document-specific; this ISO-code policy does not establish admission on a Taiwan diplomatic, official, or special passport.
