   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.
