It’s happening Aussies, it’s actually happening – on 21 November, travel to Brazil will no longer require you to print out of forms, visit banks for money orders and anxiously wait weeks for a response.
Instead, securing a visa for Brazil will be as simple as opening your internet browser, filling out a form, inserting your credit card details and waiting less than 72 hours.
That’s news worth celebrating like you’re at Carnaval!
Although KarryOn knew of Brazil’s plans for e-visas when we reported it earlier this month (thanks to the guys at TTC for the heads up), we weren’t certain of the launch date aside from it being roughly sometime late November.
That was until this morning when the all-knowing Visa Machine issued a notice to its subscribers advising of the 21 November e-visa arrival.
The Visa Machine said the system can be used for tourism and business purposes.
“No more three week waiting times for the Brazil visa to be issued!”

Adventure World’s Managing Director, Neil Rodgers, said earlier this month that electronic visas will make it easier for Australian travellers to visit Brazil and experience the “incredible spectacle” of Rio during Carnaval.
Additionally, we here at KarryOn hope Brazil’s e-visas will entice Qantas to pursue its dream of launching direct flights between Australia and Rio de Janiero.
