What to prepare in Brazil

A Vietnam e-visa application from Brazil needs four things ready:

• A Brazilian passport: Valid for at least 6 months from your entry date, with two blank pages.
• A data page image: The page with your photo, all four corners in view, and the two code lines at the bottom sharp, without glare.
• A portrait photo: Recent, facing the camera, white background, no glasses. The photo requirements guide shows examples that pass and fail.
• A card and an emergency contact: A card enabled for online payments to a foreign merchant, and the name, address and phone of a contact at home.

Copy your name from the two code lines at the bottom of the data page, in capital letters, including middle names. The form also asks for the address of your first night in Vietnam.

When to apply from Brazil

Apply at least two weeks before you fly if you choose Standard, because 5 to 7 working days can stretch over weekends and Vietnamese public holidays. Brasília is 10 hours behind Vietnam. Brasília keeps the same time all year, so the gap does not change.

For Same day delivery, order between 22:00 and 4:15 in Brasília, on a day that is a working day in Vietnam. Order in the evening, not the morning. An order placed in Brasília at 22:00 reaches Vietnam as its working day begins at 8:00. Our guide for Brazilian citizens has the full table of cut-offs, and the urgent e-visa page covers every speed.

Paying for your e-visa from Brazil

You pay in US dollars by credit or debit card. A Standard single-entry e-visa costs $47, about BRL 235, government fee included.

Figures use 1 USD = 4.99 BRL (xe.com, October 10, 2026). Your card is charged in US dollars; your bank converts the amount into reais at its own rate, so your statement can differ from the figure here. See the full price table for every speed.

On evisa.gov.vn the government fee alone is US$25 (approx. BRL 125). If a payment fails, check that your card allows online payments to foreign merchants and retry, rather than starting a second application.

Mistakes Brazilian applicants make

The first two points below are specific to Brazilian applicants; the last two apply to everyone.

• Mercosur does not reach Vietnam: Brazilians move freely around South America, but those arrangements stop at the continent. For Vietnam, only the exemption lists count, and an ordinary Brazilian passport is on none of them.
• Mixing up passports: If you hold more than one passport, apply with the one you will present at the border and use the same one on the form, the scan and the flight booking.
• A look-alike website: The government site is evisa.gov.vn. Private services, including ours, say that they are private; leave any site that does not say who runs it.
• A gate you will not use: Choose the airport or border gate you will really enter through, and check the ports of entry list.
