Applicants who wish to travel to Brazil need to be aware of the costs associated with applying for a visa. The Brazil eVisa is an easy way to apply for a visa from the comfort of one’s home computer. The fees for applying are subject to several factors.

Are Brazil eVisa fees different for business and tourist visas?

This sum includes $80.00 for the consular fee and an additional $0.90 service and processing fee, which is applied by the authorized visa application system, VFS Global. If you are coming to Brazil to have fun, visit your relatives, or conduct business, the required electronic visa will cost you the same amount.

The validity period of the Brazil eVisa starts from the date of issuance upon the successful approval of the application and the payment of the fee. In the case of citizens of the USA, the validity period of the eVisa is 10 years; while citizens of Australia and Canada can use the visa for a period of 5 years. If the passport expires prior to the validity period, then the eVisa will become invalid. The eVisa allows you to stay in Brazil for a maximum of 90 days per year.
