Hot on the heels of the European Union postponing (again) its much-mooted ETIAS program, which will require visitors from most non-EU countries to obtain pre-travel clearance, Brazil has pushed back the start of its new visa system for travelers from the US, Canada and Australia.
However, if 2024 is the year of the reprieve, 2025 is when everything will hit home. And for travelers from those three countries heading to Brazil, it’ll hit home, hit their bank balances – and require them to share their bank statements, too.
ETIAS is slated to start in 2025 and Brazil has now confirmed a start date for its visa program.
Beginning April 10, 2025, citizens from Australia, Canada and the US will need a visa to enter Brazil, the report explains. The visa will cost $80.90, will be valid for 10 years, and allows stays up to 90 days per year.
In addition to the $80.90 fee, visa applicants must provide a “letter of intent” with details on travel dates, purpose of the trip, address of where they’ll be staying in Brazil, proof of residence, return tickets, and proof of income.
For proof of income, you must hand over either the last three checking or savings account bank statements, or your last six paycheck stubs.
But that’s not all… your bank account must show an average of at least $2,000 in your account. If you can’t meet those requirements, you can get a sponsor to sign for you, along with the sponsor’s last three bank statements.
If you’re going to Brazil for tourism or cruise travel, you may apply for an e-visa online.
Prominent social media user @amuse commented on the report:
OPEN BORDER: Brazilians coming to the US illegally are given auto-parole and allowed to work here for 5+ yrs. Americans going to Brazil are required to provide proof of employment and a bank statement to get in. Should we start asking for bank statements too?
