Can Chinese citizens apply for a Brazilian visa online?

At present, many countries have relaxed their visa policies, and the opening of electronic visas is a measure in this regard. However, e-visas in some countries are not available to all countries. For example, in Brazil, some people want to know, can Chinese citizens apply for a Brazilian visa online?

It is understood that citizens of Australia, Japan, Canada, the United States and other developed countries can submit their applications for electronic entry visas online through the website when they go to Brazil. In other words, Brazil has opened electronic visas to these countries, but this does not include China.

In late October 2019, when the Brazilian president visited China, he promised to waive visas for China and India, or to implement electronic visa for both countries, just as Brazil did for Canada, the United States, Australia and Japan.

However, up to now, the promise made by the Brazilian president during his visit to China has not been officially carried out, that is to say, the news of opening the electronic visa application authority for Chinese citizens has not been confirmed. Therefore, Chinese tourists to Brazil can only go to the prescribed consular area and apply for sticker visa.

You cannot apply for a Brazilian e-visa online, but applicants for sticker visas need to make an online reservation in advance when submitting application materials.

Brazilian visa applications submit their own application materials at the visa application centers in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. The requirements of different visa application centers are different on the issue of whether an appointment is required for visa applications.

According to regulations, those who choose the Beijing Visa Application Center to submit visa application materials need to make an appointment in advance, but there is no need to make an appointment to submit an application at the Shanghai Visa Application Center. If you submit a visa application at the Guangzhou Brazil Visa Application Center, the applicant must make an appointment by phone or email at least one working day in advance.
