Gotchas to watch
- There is no Brazilian visa on arrival — visas are only issued by Brazil's embassies and consulates abroad, never at airports, ports or land borders.
- Brazil grants visas on the principle of reciprocity: because India requires visas of Brazilian citizens, Indian citizens need a visa for Brazil.
- The visit visa never allows paid activity in Brazil — only daily allowances, artistic paychecks, compensation or other travel expenses are permitted.
- The Embassy of Brazil in New Delhi asks for the email subject line in English: (your type of visa) – RER number – name of applicant – valid mobile number.
