Brazil Visa Requirements
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to apply for anything before I travel to Brazil?
No — with a Guatemala passport, you don't need to apply for a visa or authorisation before flying to Brazil. Just make sure your passport itself is valid and, if you have one, bring proof of your onward or return travel in case you're asked.
Can I extend my stay in Brazil once I'm there?
Yes. You can apply from inside Brazil to stay longer, and you must do it before your current permission runs out. The official fee is R$200. Up to a further 90 days, granted once in any 12-month period. Total time in Brazil may not exceed 180 days in any rolling 12 months, however the visits are split. Administrative fee of roughly R$130–200 (about USD 25–40), paid to the Federal Police. Apply in person at any Delegacia da Polícia Federal before your current 90 days expire, with proof of sufficient funds and a stated reason. Officers have discretion and extensions are not guaranteed. Each new entry resets the 90-day clock, so leaving and returning is often simpler than extending — provided you stay within the 180-day annual cap. Brazil keeps digital entry and exit records, so overstays are always visible.
Is the information on this page guaranteed to be accurate?
We check what we publish against official sources where we can, and clearly flag anything still pending verification. Even so, visa rules change — sometimes with very little notice — so please treat this page as a strong starting point, not a final word, and confirm directly with the official source linked above before you book or fly.
Before you travel — checklist
- Check your passport has enough remaining validity for your trip to Brazil — many countries require at least 6 months beyond your travel dates, even for visa-free entry.
- Check whether Brazil requires proof of onward or return travel — some border officers ask for this even when it isn't formally listed as a requirement.
- Consider travel insurance that covers your trip to Brazil, particularly if any medical or emergency evacuation coverage is required or advisable for the region.
- This page's details for Brazil are still pending full verification — confirm everything directly with an official government source before finalising your plans.
Visa rules change — sometimes with very little notice. This page reflects our best information as of 2026, but if you're reading this later than that, treat it as a starting point rather than the final word, and always confirm with the official source above before you travel.
