I have the same concern. I posted this on a Facebook group I’m in but no replies yet.
Hi,
For those US citizens cruising to Brazil later this year, after Oct 1, 2023, have you gone through the new visa process?
At the moment US citizens can visit Brazil with nothing more than a US passport since they dropped the Brazil eVisa in 2019.
However, starting on Oct 1, 2023, Brazil is reinstating a visa requirement for US citizens which seems complex compared to how it used to be with the eVisa.
When we last visited/cruised to Brazil in 2018, we were able to obtain an evisa almost immediately online.
Now it seems they want a lot of documentation such as:
Proof of paid accommodation
Proof of financial resources
Proof of onward or return ticket
I'm wondering if anyone here has gone through this process for a post Oct 1, 2023 cruise.
