European Community passport holders do not need a visa to enter Brazil but passport holders from some other countries, such as the USA, Australia and New Zealand do. If you have any doubts about the need for a visa, consult the airline with which you will be flying or contact your nearest Brazilian Consulate. Tourists are normally allowed to stay in Brazil for three months and this - at the discretion of the Federal Police - can be extended for a further three months if necessary. A tourist does not have the right to work while in Brazil.
