About Official visa to Brazil
The official visa for Brazil is intended for people who travel to the country to perform official duties on behalf of a government agency, public institution, or international organization. The visa is different from tourist, business, and work visas and is only granted for travel for official purposes.
The visa is used, for example, to participate in official meetings, government delegations, international conferences or other assignments carried out for a public organisation. The application should be submitted well in advance of departure as additional documentation is often required.
Swedish citizens traveling to Brazil for official assignments need to apply for an official visa depending on the purpose of the trip and the nature of the assignment. The final decision is always made by Brazilian authorities.
The validity of the visa and the permitted length of stay vary depending on the length of the assignment and are decided by Brazilian immigration authorities.
You will need the following documents to apply:
- Completed visa application
- Copy of passport information page
- The passport must be valid at least 6 months after the date of entry
- Visa photo
- Official letter or assignment letter from an authority or organisation
- Documents proving the purpose of the trip
- Any invitation from Brazilian authority or organization
Brazil can change visa rules and document requirements at short notice. It is therefore important to check the current rules before submitting the application.
