How long must a US passport be valid when visiting Brazil?
I am planning to visit friends in Brazil in March 2020. My US passport expires in May 2020. From what I can gather online, Brazil requires passports to be valid for six months after arrival if you are applying for a visitor visa. However, since June 2019, US citizens are not required to obtain a visa to visit Brazil. I have not been able to find any clear guidance online concerning the required length of passport validity for citizens of visa-exempt countries.
Can I travel to Brazil on a US passport that expires two months after my visit, or do I need to renew my passport before my trip?
Best Answer
I am Brazilian and this is the info I found:
TURISTAS
Passaporte válido (válido por pelo menos mais seis meses no momento da entrada no Brasil). Também é altamente recomendável que o passaporte seja válido por mais de 6 meses no momento da saída.
Prova de alojamento, prova de meios de subsistência para o tempo de permanência no Brasil e bilhete de retorno.
Estes documentos podem ser solicitados no momento da entrada no Brasil e a incapacidade de apresentar esses documentos podem, eventualmente, levar às autoridades fronteiriças brasileiras a negar a entrada no país.
Para mais informações sobre estes documentos, entre em contato com a Embaixada do Brasil mais próxima da sua residência
So yes, you can be denied entry into Brazil if your passport is less than 6 months from its expiration date.
