What "Visa required" means for Nepalis

Visa required means Nepalis must hold a visa issued by Brazil before travelling. The application is filed online, the government fee of ₹8,000 is paid and the passport is returned with the visa (Consulate visa). Published decision windows for Brazil are 10–17 working days; the visa allows a stay of up to 90 days.

Before you apply

Apply as soon as the dates are fixed. Check that the passport has two blank pages and six months of validity, that the name on the booking matches the passport exactly and that bank statements cover the last three to six months without a sudden large deposit. Appointment slots at visa application centres fill up before holidays, so book biometrics first and gather documents around that date. Vistolane runs the document checks before filing and shows the guaranteed filing date before you pay.

At the Brazil border and during the stay

Brazil sets a stay of up to 90 days, decided by the consulate, on a visa valid for decided by the consulate. The date written at the border is the one that counts, not the visa validity. Overstaying, even by a day, is recorded, usually fined and can lead to a refusal on the next application for Brazil and for countries that share immigration data. Extensions, where they exist, are applied for inside the country before the stay ends; a new entry is not an extension and repeated back-to-back visits are refused at many borders.
