Belgium Visa RequirementsFor Brazil passport holders
Brazilian citizens travel to Belgium visa-free for up to 90 days under the Schengen agreement. Belgium is small but densely rewarding: Brussels is the EU capital, Bruges is a medieval canal city, and Ghent and Antwerp offer world-class art and nightlife.
Great news! Brazil passport holders can enter Belgium without a visa for tourism or business purposes. You can stay up to 90 days.
No visa needed. Enter with a valid Brazilian passport. At Brussels Airport (BRU), immigration may ask for accommodation confirmation, return ticket, and proof of funds. Belgian border control is typically efficient for Brazilian passport holders. The 90-day limit counts cumulatively across all Schengen countries visited on the same trip.
Belgium is part of the Schengen Area. Your stay counts toward the 90-day limit within any 180-day period for the entire Schengen zone. Learn more about Schengen rules →
