Mongolian passport holders can enter Brazil without a visa for tourism or business stays up to 90 days. This policy is in effect for 2026. Ensure your passport meets the entry requirements and you have the necessary documents ready.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your departure date from Brazil | Brazil strictly enforces the 6-month passport validity rule for visa-free entries. Your passport must have at least two blank pages for entry and exit stamps. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Brazil | Immigration officers at Brazilian airports routinely ask for proof of onward travel. Have a printed or digital copy of your return flight or a ticket to your next destination. Overstaying the 90-day visa-free period incurs a fine of R$100 per day (about $20 USD) and may result in a ban. | Recommended |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation letter | While not always checked, having a confirmed hotel reservation or a letter from your host (with their address and phone number) speeds up the immigration process. If you're staying with friends, a signed invitation letter helps avoid questions. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statements or credit card | Brazilian immigration may ask for evidence you can support yourself during your stay. Carry a recent bank statement showing at least R$500 (about $100 USD) per day of your trip, or a credit card with sufficient limit. Cash is rarely required, but having a card ready works. | Recommended |
Passport validity counts from entry date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Brazil, not from your departure date. Double-check before you fly.
No extension possible
The 90-day visa-free stay cannot be extended. Plan your trip accordingly and leave before the deadline to avoid fines or bans.
