VISA REQUIREMENTS

Good news: You're going to Brazil and can die happy(er).

Less fun news: You must pass through the gauntlet of the
Brazilian visa system.

Good news again: it’s an online e-Visa, so no embassy visits, just some paperwork and every last fiber of your patience.

Bad news again: Shrek 5 release date has been pushed to June 30, 2027.

Airlines will check for a physical, printed copy before letting you board. 

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

Valid U.S. Passport
Must be valid for the duration of your stay in Brazil.

Passport-Style Photo Upload
This is where things get spicy. The system is very picky:

  • White background

  • Neutral expression

  • No shadows, hats, or artsy lighting

  • Head straight, eyes open, no glam filters

Visa Fee
There is a processing fee (paid online by credit card). Does not count towards your gift total.

HOW EARLY SHOULD YOU APPLY?

Apply several weeks before your trip. Maybe just apply now. Processing times can vary, and like recently having had a child at an inopportune time, this will not be accepted as a valid excuse for not attending our wedding.
