Merrywench Posted July 8, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I just read that Brazil is requiring visas for American entry after October 1. The visas have been waived until now so is this a blanket requirement or still waived for cruise passengers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwn Posted July 8, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) Both countries use to require visas in early 2000’s then both agreed not to. Now I have heard the US is requiring them so Brazil is too. Probably no pass for cruise passengers and the past they were very expressive. Edited July 8, 2023 by cwn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did start to use my imagination, and came up with some odd thoughts about expressive visas! 🤣 In hindsight, "expensive" should have been a logical mental substitution; it just wasn't apparent to me at the moment.

RELS Posted July 8, 2023 #6 Share Posted July 8, 2023 There will (probably) be an evisa available for US citizens. The ivisa website has extensive details: https://www.ivisa.com/brazil/blog/brazil-visa-requirements-for-us-citizens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnocket Posted July 8, 2023 #8 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Yes, as of Oct 1st US citizens will be required to obtain a visa to visit Brazil. When Brazil announced this change, they said they would implement an e-visa program and that US citizens could obtain the visa entirely online at a cost of $80. Brazil being Brazil, this online mechanism is not yet available. I've got an Amazon cruise in Dec and I'm a tad concerned that the online e-visa won't be ready in time. My backup plan is to wait until Oct 1st and if the e-visa is still MIA, I will use the existing, but cumbersome, mail-in visa application. It would be nice if Regent communicated a bit about this new visa requirement, but they have been silent. I suspect there will be a number of people who will remain unaware of this change and will run into problems (we are beyond final payment). On other cruise lines/itineraries the cruise line has sometimes stepped in and obtained the visas for a fee. As of now, everything is kind of up in the air. Here's an existing thread on the subject from the South America port board.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
