Family Travel to Brazil

Travelling to Brazil with your family (or as part of a group) does not require submitting separate visa applications for each traveller. The Brazil eVisa system allows multiple applicants to be included within a single application, managed by one primary applicant.

This group application feature is designed for families and groups travelling together while ensuring that each traveller receives an individual Brazil eVisa after approval.

Key features

• One application for multiple travellers
• One primary applicant manages the entire submission
• Mixed nationalities supported, subject to eligibility
• Individual Brazil eVisa issued to each applicant

Who Can Use the Group Application Feature?

The group application option is available for travellers who plan to enter Brazil together, including:

• Families travelling with children
• Couples
• Friends travelling as a private group
• Tour or organised travel groups
• Groups with mixed nationalities, provided each applicant is eligible

Each traveller must meet the Brazil eVisa Eligibility requirements individually.

It is important to note that a group application does not result in a shared visa. Each applicant is assessed separately and receives their own Brazil eVisa.

Role of the Primary Applicant

One person is designated as the primary applicant and is responsible for managing the group application. This role helps keep the process organised and ensures consistent communication.

The primary applicant:

• Creates the group application
• Adds all applicants before submission
• Uploads the required documents for each traveller
• Completes the payment for the entire application
• Receives status updates for all applicants
• Tracks the progress of the group application

How the Brazil Group eVisa Application Works

The application process follows a simple, structured flow:

1. Start the Brazil eVisa Application
2. Add all family/group members using the “Add Applicant” feature
3. Review the details and submit the application
4. Track the application status and receive individual eVisas

Each applicant is processed individually, even though the application is submitted together.

What Each Applicant Receives

After processing:

• Each traveller receives an individual Brazil eVisa
• Approval decisions are made separately for each applicant
• Visa validity and entry permission apply to the individual traveller

Group submission does not affect the independence of each visa decision.

Important Rules to Note

• All applicants must be added before submission
• Processing times should be chosen separately for each added applicant
• Group composition cannot be changed after submission

Why Apply as a Family or Group?

• A single application flow for all travellers
• Centralised tracking through the primary applicant
• Reduced repetition when entering travel details
• Lower risk of missing required information

Family Travel Context in Brazil

Brazil welcomes families and groups for a wide range of travel experiences. Many travellers choose to visit together to explore coastal areas, urban attractions, and natural reserves that are suitable for group travel.

Families and groups also plan their trips around major annual events. Travel demand often increases during popular periods such as major cultural festivals, when coordinated travel arrangements become important.

One such event is the Rio Carnival, a widely recognised annual celebration that attracts travellers from around the world. Families and groups often plan their visits during this period, making the group eVisa application feature a practical option when travelling together.
