Brazil Visa from Dubai for UAE Residents

Brazil visa from Dubai: how UAE residents actually apply

Depends on your passport. Emirati citizens enter visa-free (up to 90 days). US, Canadian and Australian citizens use the Brazil e-Visa on the official VFS eVisa portal (since April 2025). All other visa-required nationalities (Indian, Pakistani, Filipino, Egyptian and others) apply for a consular visitor visa (VIVIS): online pre-registration on Brazil's e-Consular system, then appointment and passport submission at the Embassy of Brazil in Abu Dhabi (consular section).

Who decides: the Embassy of Brazil in Abu Dhabi (consular section) for consular visas; the e-Visa is decided online. Fee: consular visitor visa (VIVIS) fee AED 320 for most nationalities, more for some (paid at the embassy); e-Visa USD 80.90 for eligible nationalities. Processing: consular visas: 5 business days to review the documents, an appointment within the next 45 days, then at least 5 business days to issue (up to 30 days for some nationalities); e-Visa about 5 working days.

Visa-free: Emirati citizens (90 days) — eligibility is decided by your passport, not by UAE residence. Our Brazil service (AED 800) confirms what your passport needs, completes the official forms, books any appointment, checks every document against the Brazilian checklist and follows the file until the visa is in your hand.

• Eligibility confirmed first — we tell you whether your passport is visa-free, e-Visa eligible or needs a full application before you pay for anything.
• Official forms completed — on the government portal or system, with data matching your passport exactly.
• Appointment or submission handled — booked at the correct centre or mission for your emirate where an appointment is required.
• Document check against the Brazilian checklist — residence validity, photos, bank statements and employment proof reviewed before submission.
• Tracked until issued — we follow the file and send you the e-Visa or tell you when the passport is ready.
