Visa requirements
You should have a valid passport (preferably valid
for several months after July 2017) to enter the Brazilian border, and in some
specific cases you may need a Visa. As a rule, the Brazilian government uses
the reciprocity principle: if your country requires a Visa from Brazilian
visitors, you will need a Visa to visit Brazil. Visas are granted by the
Brazilian consulates abroad.
Visa is not required for citizens from Mercosur
countries (Argentina, Uruguay, etc.). Visitors from those countries need just a valid passport or
identity. Most European participants and visitors from several other countries
will not need a Visa to enter Brazil.
U.S.A. participants will need to obtain a Visa
before travelling to Brazil. The exceptional case of American citizens is due
to the reciprocity policy of the Brazilian government. The same applies to a
few other countries that demand a Visa from Brazilians. But they are not many.
