Germany Visa RequirementsFor Brazil passport holders
Brazilian ordinary passport holders can visit Germany visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day period across Schengen. The passport must have been issued within the last ten years and remain valid for three months after planned departure.
Great news! Brazil passport holders can enter Germany without a visa for tourism or business purposes. You can stay up to 90 days.
No tourist visa application or visa fee is required for an eligible short visit. Carry your passport, accommodation and itinerary details, evidence of sufficient funds and onward travel. Germany’s missions in Brazil recommend travel medical insurance for visa-exempt visitors.
The Entry/Exit System (EES) and ETIAS are different systems. EES records eligible short-stay border movements. ETIAS is not yet operational as of 12 September 2026; check the official EU launch information before a future trip.
Germany 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 →

Current Travel Situation
Brazil to Germany: What You Need to Know
Germany is part of the Schengen Area. The visa-free short-stay allowance covers eligible tourism and visits; it does not by itself authorise employment or long-term residence. Count stays in all Schengen countries together, including entry and exit days.
How to Get There
Check flights for your exact dates with the operating airlines. Confirm transit and entry requirements at every connection, particularly when changing airports, collecting baggage or using separate tickets. Allow for immigration and baggage transfer, and choose flexible bookings while travel documents are pending.
Practical Tips
Book popular attractions and accommodation for your actual travel dates. Oktoberfest tents include unreserved seating, so a reservation is not universally required; crowded tents may temporarily close. Reserve through the tent operator if you need a table booking. Allow realistic time for flight connections and possible rail delays.
Frequently Asked Questions

How should Brazilians plan flights to Germany?
Check flights for your exact dates with the operating airlines. Confirm transit and entry requirements at every connection, particularly when changing airports, collecting baggage or using separate tickets. Allow for immigration and baggage transfer, and choose flexible bookings while travel documents are pending.
Do Brazilians need to book Oktoberfest tents in advance?
No reservation is universally required. Oktoberfest tents have unreserved seating, although access may stop when a tent is full. Book directly with the tent operator if you want a reservation and check its conditions.
