Visa & Entry

Spanish passport holders enter Brazil visa-free for up to 90 days for tourism or business. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from arrival. No prior registration or eVisa is required. You get stamped in at the airport.

The 90-day period can be extended once for another 90 days at a Federal Police office in Brazil, totaling 180 days per rolling 12-month period. The extension fee is BRL 204. Apply before your initial 90 days expire.

Brazil requires proof of yellow fever vaccination if you are arriving from or transiting through a country in the yellow fever zone. Spain is not in that zone, so a direct flight from Spain does not trigger the requirement. If your itinerary routes through a yellow fever country, carry your International Certificate of Vaccination.
