Brazil visa rules for Thai citizens
Thailand and Brazil have a mutual short-stay tourist visa exemption, so Thai tourists do not need a visa for short visits; study, work or long-term residence requires a visa from the Brazilian embassy in advance.
Documents and translations
For long-stay visas, applicants prepare a passport, online application form, photo, financial evidence and purpose documents such as a university acceptance letter or employment contract; Thai documents must be translated into English or Portuguese and certified as required.
Applying from Thailand
Long-stay visas are lodged at the Brazilian Embassy in Bangkok by appointment after completing the online application; check the current exemption terms and requirements before travelling.
