Visiting Brazil
Brazil is unique for its richness of nature, culture, economy and history. This lends the country a Wonderland quality, with countless tourist attractions, and diversity as our main instrument to fulfill this potential. Beaches, forests, mountains, rivers, festivals, diversified cuisine, national parks, and historical towns are scattered among 26 states and the Federal District, where the Capital, Brasília, is located.
This racial mixture has generated a nation of happy, sharing people, a country where all come together under their differences and diversity, in an environment of peaceful coexistence. We are indeed, a country for everyone. In addition, our economic growth allied to the country's strategic position in the South American makes us a focal point for attracting technical, commercial and social events, which in conjunction with the leisure options, define Brazil as a special country, with such a plethora of travel opportunities on offer. |

Tourists
All tourists need passports to enter Brazil, but visas may or may not be mandatory depending upon relation between countries. USA citizens, for example, need visas, because they also require them from Brazilians. The Ministry of Foreign Relations authorizes the visas, which may be requested form Brazilian Representations abroad. The amount to be paid varies from country to country.
One of the foreigners' duties is to fulfill the periods of permanence without going beyond them. The way to verify these periods is to check the stamp placed on the passport upon arrival in the country. Therefore, it is important to check if the passport has been stamped. If it is necessary to remain any longer the renewal of the visa must be requested at an office of the Federal Police before the given period is over, at the risk of having to pay a fine upon leaving the country. |
