The Brazil eVisa has one official government fee, but most travelers end up paying more than that headline number once they factor in how they actually apply. This page breaks down the official cost, why platform service fees exist, and how to understand exactly what you're paying for at each step.
The official Brazil eVisa application fee is $80.90 USD, and it's the same across every eVisa category — Tourism, Business, Transit, Business Event & Expo, and Seafarer — and the same regardless of your nationality. This fee is paid directly as part of the online application and is non-refundable, even if your application is ultimately rejected.
This government fee alone is what you'd pay if you completed the entire application yourself, directly through the official portal, with no third-party assistance.
Beyond the $80.90 government fee, many travelers choose to apply through a visa facilitation platform rather than navigating the official process alone. This comes with an additional service fee on top of the government charge — and understanding why that fee exists helps you decide whether it's worth it for your situation.
When you apply through a facilitation platform, the service fee typically covers:
In short: the government fee pays for Brazil to process your visa. The service fee pays for someone to make sure your application is accurate and complete before it ever reaches that review, and to help if something goes wrong along the way.
| Component | Amount | Paid To |
|---|---|---|
| Official government eVisa fee | $80.90 USD | Brazilian government (via official portal) |
| Platform service fee (if using facilitation assistance) | Varies by provider | The visa facilitation platform |
Service fees vary meaningfully between providers, so it's worth understanding exactly what's included before choosing one — a lower headline fee that doesn't include document review or support during processing may end up costing more in time and stress if your application runs into issues.
This depends on your comfort level and situation:
Beyond the eVisa fee itself, factor these into your overall trip budget:
$80.90 is the complete official government fee with no hidden government charges on top of it. Any additional cost beyond that comes from choosing to use a third-party facilitation platform's service, which is optional, not a government requirement.
You can apply entirely on your own directly through the official government portal and pay only the $80.90 fee. A facilitation platform is an optional convenience, not a requirement.
No. The $80.90 government fee is non-refundable regardless of outcome, which is part of why getting your documentation right the first time matters — reapplying means paying the fee again.
No. The $80.90 fee covers your multiple-entry eVisa for its full validity period (up to 10 years for US citizens, up to 5 years for Canadian and Australian citizens), not a per-entry charge.
Different platforms include different levels of service — some offer basic form submission only, while others include full document review, category guidance, and ongoing support through approval. It's worth comparing what's actually included, not just the headline price.
VistoRoute is an independent visa facilitation platform and is not affiliated with the Government of Brazil or any consular authority. Our service fee is charged separately from, and in addition to, the official government eVisa fee, and covers document review, application handling, and support throughout your application. All final decisions on visa issuance rest with Brazilian immigration authorities.
