The Brazilian passport is one of Latin America’s strongest travel documents, sitting in the top-15 tier of the Henley Passport Index for 2026 with roughly 170 visa-free or visa-on-arrival destinations. Brazilians get the full Schengen 90/180 allowance, six months in the UK (with a cheap ETA), and 90-day access across most of Asia’s nomad hubs, including Japan, Malaysia, Thailand and South Korea. Within South America, Mercosur freedom of movement means Brazilians can cross borders with just a national ID card and can apply for temporary residence with work rights in member and associate states. Recent wins — China and Indonesia both went visa-free in 2025 — have made it an even better base passport for long multi-country trips.
Key Strengths
- 90 days in any 180 across all 29 Schengen countries, plus separate 90-day allowances in Ireland and Cyprus for Europe beyond the Schengen clock
- Six months (180 days) in the UK on a £16 Electronic Travel Authorisation — one of the longest visa-free stays available to Brazilians anywhere
- Mercosur freedom of movement: ID-card entry (90 days as a tourist) plus the right to apply for a 2-year temporary residence with work rights in Argentina, Uruguay and other member states
- Long-stay anchors outside Europe: 365 days in Georgia, 180 days in Costa Rica, 120 days in Fiji and 90 days in Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, South Korea, South Africa, Morocco and the UAE
Recent Policy Changes
China opened visa-free entry for Brazilians on 1 June 2025 (30 days) and in November 2025 extended the policy through 31 December 2026, while Indonesia added Brazil to its visa-free list on 3 July 2025 on a reciprocity basis. The UK began requiring its ETA for Brazilians on 8 January 2025, and Mexico reinstated the SAE electronic authorization for air arrivals on 5 February 2026 after suspending it in 2025. In Europe, the EES biometric border system has been rolling out since 12 October 2025 and the paid ETIAS authorisation is expected to switch on in late 2026 — Schengen entry remains visa-free either way.

Schengen Area Access
Brazil passport holders can stay 90 days in any 180-day period across all Schengen countries combined. The 29 Schengen member states share a single visa policy — days spent in any member country count toward the same 90-day limit.

Tips for Brazilian Passport Holders
Travel tips for Brazilian travelers
- •Several "visa-free" destinations now require a pre-registration: UK ETA (since 8 Jan 2025), South Korea’s K-ETA (Brazil is not on the 2024–26 waiver list), New Zealand’s NZeTA + IVL levy, Kenya’s eTA and Sri Lanka’s ETA — apply online before you fly
- •China’s 30-day visa-free entry is a trial policy currently running through 31 December 2026 — re-check the rule before booking travel beyond that date
- •Mexico’s SAE electronic authorization only works for single-entry air arrivals (max 180 days); overland entries from the US or Guatemala/Belize still require a consular visitor visa
- •Brazil taxes residents on worldwide income — if you leave permanently, file the Comunicação/Declaração de Saída Definitiva do País with the Receita Federal, or you remain a Brazilian tax resident and must keep declaring foreign earnings
