No matter how old you are, if you are from a visa-required country, you need to request and travel with an approved visa for Brazil. This also applies to children.
Providing you meet the eligibility requirements, you can now apply for an eVisa for your child through the Brazil visa online application form.
The following information walks you through the Brazil visa application process for children.
Unless you are from a visa-exempt country, you need a visa to visit Brazil. This is also the case for children.
This includes children of young ages, regardless of whether they travel on their parents’ laps. This means you have to get a Brazil visa for your baby or infant as well.
About the Brazil eVisa for a Child
Citizens of Australia, Canada, and the US are now eligible to get the Brazil eVisa online.
In the case of families applying for the Brazil eVisa, each family member will require a separate eVisa. This includes very young children.
Even if your child travels on your passport, kids need a separate eVisa for Brazil. Each member of the family requires their own individual eVisa.
A Brazil visa for children is priced at the same eVisa fee as for adults.
Documentation Required for Brazil Visa for Kids
Minors applying for a Brazil eVisa must supply:
- Bio page of a valid and eligible passport
- A passport sized photo
- Confirmed flight bookings (showing entrance to and exit from Brazil)
- Copies of both parent’s passport or other photo ID (that must match the names on the child’s birth certificate)
- Proof of sufficient funds (accompanying guardian's/parent’s documentation)

Do I Need Authorization to Travel with my Child to Brazil?
All visa applicants under the age of 18 must also supply a minor authorization letter signed by both parents or legal guardians. However:
- A notarized copy of the court order granting sole custody and exclusive parental rights must be produced if one parent is the applicant's only parent.
- If only one parent is listed on the birth certificate, only that person’s signature is required.
- A death certificate needs to be shown if one parent has passed away.
Brazil Visa for Kids Online Application Process
The information required on a form for a Brazil eVisa for a child is the same as on an adult application. However, it also asks for some additional data.
You’ll need to specify the accompanying adult for the minor’s travel. You then need to supply the following information if the minor is traveling with their parents:
- Mother’s Given Name
- Mother’s Family Name
- Mother’s Place of Birth
- Mother’s Date of Birth
- Mother’s Nationality
- Father’s Given Name
- Father’s Family Name
- Father’s Place of Birth
- Father’s Date of Birth
- Father’s Nationality
For all minor applications, you need to provide the following information about their Legal Representative:
- Given Name
- Family Name
- Place of Birth
- Date of Birth
- Nationality
It is crucial to provide correct details in order to receive the Brazil eVisa approval for a minor.
If the Brazil visa is rejected, you can re-apply for a visa. The rejection of your visa could be due to typos or spelling mistakes.
Brazil Visa Validity for Children
As with all online visas granted to applicants, the Brazil visa for kids is valid for between 5-10 years based on nationality. However, it only permits a 90-day stay per year.
There is no limit to the amount of visits travelers pay a year, provided that they don’t exceed 90 days in total. The Brazil eVisa for a child is a multiple entry visa.
The application form takes a matter of minutes to complete and does not require a trip to an embassy. Usually, the Brazil eVisa is processed within 7-12 days.
Is There a Joint Brazil Visa Application for Families?
When planning a family trip to Brazil, parents and guardians often wonder if there is a joint application process for visas.
Unfortunately, it is not currently possible to submit a joint Brazil visa application for families. You need to apply for a separate Brazil eVisa for each individual family member.
