Brazil visa requirements for Japanese citizens in 2024

Japanese citizens planning to visit Brazil benefit from simplified entry requirements in 2024. We at iVisa monitor these requirements closely to provide the most current and accurate information for travelers.

Current visa status for Japanese citizens

Japan and Brazil share a significant diplomatic relationship that has led to favorable travel arrangements. As of 2024:

"When the Brazil eVisa program was introduced, it specifically targeted travelers from Australia, Canada, the United States, and Japan. The choice of these countries was strategic, based on their high volume of Brazilian visa applications.

Japan and Brazil entered into a three-year visa waiver agreement that took effect on September 30, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, Japanese citizens can visit Brazil without a visa for up to 90 days for tourism, business, sports, or artistic events."

• Entry purposes covered by the visa waiver:

  • Tourism activities
  • Business meetings
  • Sporting events
  • Cultural exchanges

Understanding the Brazil eVisa system

While Japanese citizens currently enjoy visa-free entry, it's important to understand the eVisa system for future reference:

"For travelers from Australia, Canada, and the United States, it's important to note that starting from April 10, 2024, they'll need to apply for a Brazil eVisa to enter the country."

• Key features of the Brazil eVisa:

  • Digital application process
  • Quick processing times
  • Multiple entry options
  • Extended validity periods

Pro Tip: "Always check the latest visa requirements before planning your trip, as immigration policies can change. We recommend verifying requirements at least two months before your intended travel date."
