Enter with just your passport, no visa needed. Some destinations require a simple electronic travel authorization (eTA). Permitted stay length is shown for each country.
A visa is issued when you land, usually a short form and a fee right at the border. Check the fee and permitted stay before you fly.
Apply online before you travel; approval usually arrives within a few days by email. No embassy visit needed, you land with the document ready.
A visa must be obtained before travelling, via an embassy or consulate of the destination country.

About the Brazil Passport
The Brazilian passport ranks 9th by mobility, placing it in the strong tier. Holders can visit 116 destinations without a visa, and the overall total reaches 173 when eTA, visa on arrival and e-Visa options are included. Europe is the leading region with 45 visa-free destinations, while Oceania is the weakest at six.
Among the key destinations, France and the Schengen area, Japan, the United Arab Emirates and Singapore are visa-free, and the United Kingdom asks only for an eTA. Australia can be entered on an e-Visa. The United States, Canada and China still require a visa in advance, which is worth planning for early. Since access is already broad, a second citizenship such as Malta Citizenship by Merit could add up to 10 destinations, and residency may suit other goals better.
