Travel information

Travel Information

  • Visa 

Visitors to Brazil must obtain a visa from a Brazilian Consulate (in some cases, Embassy) unless they come from a visa-exempt country – check the list of countries that require a visa at the following links: 1) English (see the “caption” on the first page and column “Vivis – Visit Visa” in the table for the corresponding visa information); 2) Portuguese version.  

If your country requires a visa for entry into Brazil, visitors may obtain an electronic visitor visa (e-Visa) – electronic visa applications must be submitted exclusively through VFS Global using the following link.

If you have any questions, it is strongly recommended you check with your local Brazilian diplomatic mission whether you need to apply for a tourist visa in advance: Consular Offices of Brazil. 

Information on this topic can be found at a Brazilian Consulate portal.

Important: please note that you must apply for a visa in advance, at least two months before your planned travel date, to allow sufficient processing time. 

  • Visa Invitation Letter 

The Local Committee (eventos@cnpem.br) can provide a letter of invitation if you need to present it for a visa. The requirements may differ from country to country. Please check what applies in your case and send us information such as your passport number, your date of birth and date of arrival. 

The invitation letter is available only for registered participants and the DHL fee is not included in the conference fee if you need the original letter. 

Please note that the Invitation Letter does not guarantee the issuance of a Brazilian visa.

  • Passport 

Passports must be valid for at least six months beyond your planned date of departure from Brazil. 

Additional Tips

REAL (R$) is the currency used in Brazil. It is possible to find some options for exchanging money at the airports or in the city of Campinas.
