What Brazilians Need to Know About ETIAS

ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) is a new pre-screening system for visa-exempt travelers heading to Europe's Schengen Area. As Brazilian citizens, you will need to apply for ETIAS online before entering any of the 30 Schengen countries. The good news: ETIAS is fast, affordable, and valid for multiple trips over 3 years. Most applications are approved within minutes. The Brazil passport ranks #43 globally, providing visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 146 countries. This excellent mobility means ETIAS is a simple formality — not a full visa process.

Planning to stay longer than 90 days?

ETIAS only covers 90 days in any 180-day window. If you want to live in Europe for 12 months or more, a Digital Nomad Visa is the legal route, and your time on it does not count against your Schengen visitor allowance.
