Can I Renew an Existing Brazil eVisa?
A Brazil eVisa cannot technically be renewed or extended. Once it expires, or once the passport linked to it expires, travellers must submit a new Brazil eVisa application online.
This process is often referred to as a Brazil eVisa renewal because it’s used by travellers who already have an eVisa and need a valid one for another trip. The application process is the same as applying for the first time.
When Do You Need to Renew Your Brazil eVisa?
You need to apply for a new Brazil eVisa once your current visa expires. The validity period depends on your nationality and can range from 5 to 10 years.
Although the eVisa may remain valid for several years, travellers must still comply with the permitted length of stay granted for each visit.
What happens if my passport expires?
You must also submit a new application if the passport linked to your current eVisa expires before the visa validity period ends.
A Brazil eVisa cannot be transferred from one passport to another. If your passport expires, you must apply for a new Brazil eVisa using your new valid passport.
Travellers should ensure both their passport and visa remain valid for the duration of their trip.

Is the renewal process different from the first application?
