Visa
As a rule, Brazil's visa policy is based upon reciprocity, this basically means that most countries that require visas from Brazilian citizens to enter their territories will also need a visa to travel to Brazil. Under current Brazilian immigration law (Law 13,445 of 2017), visa exemption may only be granted by the Brazilian authorities on a reciprocal basis, and through mutual understanding on the matter. Brazil currently has bilateral agreements on visa waivers with approximately 90 countries.
Additionally, to enter Brazil, your passport must have an 'expiry date' at least 6 months after the date you arrive.
