Below are some of the visa types that Brazil offers:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Tourism: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planning to soak up the sun on Brazil&#8217;s beaches, explore its vibrant cities, or visit family members?

However, keep in mind that you can\u2019t engage in paid activities during your stay. And, your visit can\u2019t last longer than 90 days.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By considering your travel objectives and the guidelines provided for each visa type, you can confidently select the one that aligns perfectly with your plans.<br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.

You can visit for up to 90 days at a time. And guess what? It&#8217;s a Multiple-entry visa, so you can visit Brazil more than once during that time frame.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Need more time to soak in the Brazilian vibes? You can extend your e-Visa through Brazil&#8217;s Federal Police.

With a private expedited service, you could have your e-visa in hand in as little as 7 business days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plus, an expediting service comes with an added benefit.
