About Brazil visa assistance from Dubai

Planning to visit Brazil from Dubai or another UAE emirate? Friends Guide Travel & Tourism LLC provides application support for UAE residents who require a Brazil Visitor Visa, officially known as VIVIS. Our team assists with document preparation, online form guidance, appointment procedures and application tracking.

Brazil’s visa requirement is determined by the traveler’s passport nationality, not only by UAE residence status. UAE passport holders are generally visa-exempt for short visits, while residents holding other passports may require either a regular Visitor Visa or an eligible electronic visa.

The Brazil Visitor Visa is intended for short trips involving tourism, family visits, transit and eligible business activities. It generally permits stays of up to 90 days, subject to the conditions printed on the issued visa and the rules applicable to the traveler’s nationality. Paid employment is not permitted.

Australian, Canadian and United States passport holders must apply through Brazil’s designated eVisa system. Most other visa-required nationalities must follow the regular consular procedure, which may include completing an online application, uploading documents through e-Consular and attending an appointment at the Embassy of Brazil in Abu Dhabi.

Applicants may need to provide passport and UAE residence documents, financial evidence, employment or business proof, travel plans, accommodation details and a return-flight reservation. Some applicants may be required to attend the Embassy personally or provide additional documents.

Visa approval, validity and entry conditions are decided solely by the Brazilian authorities. Applicants should apply well before their intended travel date and avoid purchasing non-refundable flights until the visa has been granted.
