Brazil visa, handled for you from Surat
Brazil operates strict reciprocity with India — there is still no tourist e-visa, so most travellers apply in person at the Embassy in New Delhi or Consulate in Mumbai, while eligible business travellers can now use a fully online e-visa via DigiLocker.

Overview
Brazil does not offer Indian passport holders a tourist e-visa or visa-on-arrival — this is a reciprocity-based policy and every tourist applicant needs a sticker visa submitted in person (or via an authorised agent) at the Embassy of Brazil in New Delhi or the Consulate General in Mumbai, with an e-consular appointment booked in advance. Demand has surged through 2026, so Explera books your appointment slot early and prepares a complete file to avoid a second visit.
If your trip is strictly business, Brazil now offers a business e-Visa for eligible Indian applicants, completed entirely online using DigiLocker e-signature with your Aadhaar credentials — no embassy visit — for stays up to 90 days. Explera checks which route applies to your trip before you commit to either process.
Who needs a Brazil visa?
Indian passport holders need a tourist sticker visa (embassy) / business e-visa for Brazil, submitted through the embassy or VFS with biometrics. A complete, well-presented file is decisive — Explera prepares your cover letter, itinerary, financials and forms to embassy standards.

Standard processing for a Brazil visa is 10–15 working days (embassy) · 3–5 days (business e-visa) from the date of biometric submission.
Peak season (summer holidays, Diwali and Christmas) and busy embassies can extend timelines, so we recommend applying at least 3–4 weeks before travel.

Why Brazil visas get refused — and how we prevent it
Most refusals come down to avoidable mistakes. Explera pre-screens every application against each of these before we file:
Incomplete, inconsistent or poorly-scanned documents
Insufficient or unexplained bank balance and unclear funding
Passport valid for less than 6 months or without blank pages
Weak travel history or an unconvincing purpose of visit for first-time applicants
Unconfirmed or unrealistic itinerary, tickets or hotel bookings
Tips for a smooth Brazil visa
- ✓Keep your passport valid at least 6 months beyond your Brazil travel dates, with 2+ blank pages.
- ✓Maintain a healthy, steady bank balance for 3–6 months before you apply — sudden large deposits raise questions.
- ✓Apply early: start your Brazil visa at least 3–4 weeks before departure to absorb any delay.
- ✓Bundle your visa with flights, hotels and insurance through Explera — a complete, consistent file approves faster.
