Passport rules

GOV.UK says at least 6 months after the day you arrive; the Government of Canada says valid for your stay. We couldn’t read a Brazilian page on this, so 6 months is the safe choice.

British citizens: Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after the day you arrive.
Canadians: The Government of Canada says valid for your whole stay; GOV.UK’s 6-month advice is the safer margin.

Airlines check this at check-in. If your passport is close to the limit, renew it first: see the 6-month passport rule explained.

Changing planes in Brazil

We couldn’t confirm Brazil’s airside transit rule for U.S., Canadian and Australian citizens from an official page; the trip check doesn’t decide it. Check with your airline.

U.S. citizens, Canadians and Australians: Not confirmed.
British citizens and EU citizens: Nothing extra if you stay airside. No visa needed.

Good to know

Brazil’s government websites block automated reading, so we confirmed the eVisa rule and fee from Brazilian consulate pages and check them by hand every month.

Where official sources differ

Passport validity: GOV.UK says 6 months after arrival; the Government of Canada says valid for your stay.
eVisa validity: Brazilian consulate pages cite different periods (5 or 10 years); the visa itself shows yours.
