Why Fees Differ by Visa Type
Different visa types have slightly different fees because they involve different levels of documentation review and verification. Understanding why helps you choose the right visa type for your travel purpose.
Tourist/Visitor Visa - $145 (Standard) / $205 (Express)
The most affordable option for leisure travelers. Tourist visas require straightforward documentation: passport, photo, and proof of accommodation. The lower fee reflects the simpler verification process.
Business Visa - $155 (Standard) / $220 (Express)
Slightly higher than tourist visas because business applications require additional documentation verification. Employment letters, business invitations, and company details are reviewed more carefully to validate business purpose.
Transit Visa - $145 (Standard) / $195 (Express)
Matches tourist visa pricing for standard processing because transit documentation is minimal. Express processing is slightly lower than other express visas due to the simplified nature of transit applications.
Standard vs. Express Processing Costs

Fee Payment Methods and Security
Brazil eVisa payments are handled through secure, encrypted payment systems. Understanding payment methods and security ensures a smooth transaction:
Accepted Payment Methods
- • Visa credit and debit cards
- • Mastercard credit and debit cards
- • American Express cards
- • Most international bank-issued cards
Payment Security
The Brazil eVisa portal uses bank-level encryption (SSL/TLS) to protect your payment information. Your card details are processed through secure payment gateways and are never stored on the eVisa system.
Payment Confirmation
After successful payment, you receive an immediate confirmation email. Your application begins processing at this moment. Keep the confirmation email for your records.
Fee Value and Cost Comparison
Brazil eVisa fees represent excellent value compared to traditional visa processes and other countries' visa costs:
Why Brazil eVisa is Affordable
- • No consulate visit fees or courier costs
- • Single flat fee (no hidden charges)
- • Multiple entries included in one fee
- • Valid for 2 years from approval
- • Allows up to 90 days per entry
Hidden Fee Alert
There are NO hidden fees. The price quoted is the complete cost. No additional charges will be requested before, during, or after processing. If any provider claims additional "processing" or "service" fees beyond these amounts, they are unauthorized.
Currency and Exchange Rates
All Brazil eVisa fees are quoted in USD. If paying from another country, your bank will handle currency conversion:
Exchange Rate: Your bank applies their interbank exchange rate on the transaction date. Rates fluctuate daily, so the exact amount in your currency depends on when your payment processes.
No Surcharge: The Brazil eVisa system doesn't add a surcharge for international payments. Your bank may apply a foreign transaction fee (typically 1-3%), but this is their fee, not an eVisa fee.
Fee Refund Policy
Understanding the refund policy prevents financial surprises if your plans change:
Non-Refundable Fees: Brazil eVisa fees are non-refundable regardless of approval or rejection. If your application is denied, you cannot recover the fee. If you change your travel plans and don't use your approved eVisa, no refund is provided.
This is why purchasing travel insurance that covers trip cancellation is recommended—it may reimburse your visa fee if your trip is cancelled for covered reasons.
Payment Troubleshooting
If your payment fails or encounters issues, here are common solutions:
Payment Declined
If your card is declined, contact your bank. International transactions are sometimes blocked by fraud protection. Your bank can authorize the Brazil eVisa transaction specifically.
3D Secure / Authentication
Some cards require additional authentication (3D Secure codes). Wait for these to complete during payment processing. Don't refresh the page during this step.
Double Charge
If you're charged twice, contact eVisa support immediately with transaction details. Accidental double charges are reversed through the payment processor.
Payment Timeout
If payment times out, wait 24 hours before attempting again. Check your bank account to confirm no charge went through. Then retry with the same or different card.
Payment Quality and Processing
Quality difference: Express processing is not a different level of review—it's the same thorough verification, just faster. Both standard and express applications receive the same careful attention and documentation checking.

Important Payment Details
Your card must have sufficient available credit or balance to cover the service fee. Some credit cards have fraud prevention systems that may block international transactions. Contact your bank before applying if you have concerns about international charges.
Payment is taken when you submit your application. Your visa is issued only after your application is reviewed and approved—payment of the fee does not guarantee approval.
Refund Policy and Fee Protection
Understanding the refund policy helps you know your rights if your application is denied or if you need to cancel.
If Your Application is Denied
If your eVisa application is denied, the service fee is non-refundable. The fee covers the processing and review of your application regardless of the outcome. You may reapply if you wish to correct the issues that led to denial, and a new fee will be required for the new application.
If You Cancel Your Application
If you cancel your application before it's processed, you may be eligible for a refund depending on the status. Contact support immediately if you need to cancel. Refunds are processed back to your original payment method.
If Your Application is Approved
Once your application is approved and your eVisa is issued, the service fee is final and non-refundable. You have received the service you paid for. No refunds are issued for approved applications.
If You Don't Use Your eVisa
If you receive your eVisa but don't travel to Brazil or don't use it, the fee is still non-refundable. You paid for the issuance of the visa, not for the use of it. Plan your Brazil trip carefully before applying.
Transparency: No Hidden Fees or Surprises
One concern many applicants have is whether additional fees will be requested during processing. We're transparent about costs:
What You See is What You Pay
✓ The fee displayed is the final cost
✓ No additional fees will be requested during processing
✓ No surprise charges at the end
✓ No "convenience fees" or "processing surcharges"
✓ No fees for status checks or updates
✓ Your eVisa is delivered with no additional cost
Total cost clarity: When you see that a tourist eVisa costs $145, that's exactly what you'll pay. Nothing more, nothing less. This straightforward approach is one of the advantages of the eVisa system over traditional visa applications.
Currency Considerations
All Brazil eVisa fees are charged in USD (US Dollars). If you're paying from another country or currency, there are a few things to know:
USD Pricing
All fees listed on this website are in USD. This is the official currency for Brazil eVisa fees and provides consistency across all countries and eliminates confusion from currency variations.
Exchange Rates
If you pay with a card in another currency, your bank or card processor will apply the current exchange rate on the transaction date. The conversion rate will depend on your financial institution's rates and market conditions on that specific day.
International Transactions
If paying internationally, your bank may charge international transaction fees (typically 1-3% of transaction amount). These are separate from the eVisa service fee and are determined by your financial institution, not by the eVisa system. Compare different payment methods to minimize these charges.
Best Practices for Currency Conversion
Pay at times when exchange rates are favorable for your currency. Check rates on sites like XE.com or OANDA before payment. Some cards offer better international rates than others—using a card with no foreign transaction fees saves money.
