Brazil Multi Entry Visa Itinerary

As of early 2026, the travel landscape for Indians heading to South America has been transformed by a landmark reciprocal agreement between New Delhi and Brasília. Replacing the old 5-year system, the new 10-year multiple-entry visa allows Indian globetrotters to treat Brazil as their permanent gateway to the continent.

With this visa, you can stay for up to 90 days per visit for tourism (and up to 180 days for business), making it easier than ever to use Brazil as a "hub" for a multi-country South American odyssey.

The "Gateway to the South" 3-Week Itinerary

This itinerary is designed for the first-time South America explorer, leveraging the multiple-entry visa to move seamlessly between Brazil and its neighbors.

Phase 1: The Brazilian Spark (Days 1–7)

• Arrival in Rio de Janeiro (4 Days): Start in the "Marvelous City." Use your new visa to breeze through immigration.
  • Must-Do: Sunrise at Christ the Redeemer, a cable car ride up Sugarloaf Mountain, and a sunset at Arpoador Rocks near Ipanema Beach.
• The Jungle Hub – Manaus (3 Days): Fly north to the heart of the Amazon.
  • Experience: Take a boat to the "Meeting of the Waters" where the Rio Negro and Rio Solimões run side-by-side without mixing.

Phase 2: The Border Jump – Iguazu Falls (Days 8–10)

This is where your multiple-entry visa shines. You can visit the Brazilian side, cross into Argentina, and return to Brazil without any paperwork friction.

• Day 8 (Brazil Side): Get the panoramic "postcard" view of the 275 waterfalls.
• Day 9 (Argentina Side): Cross the border (check Argentina's e-visa status for Indians) to stand atop the "Devil’s Throat."
• Day 10: Return to the Brazilian side for your flight to the next country.

Phase 3: The Andean High – Peru (Days 11–17)

Fly from Foz do Iguaçu to Lima (often with a connection in São Paulo).

• Cusco & Sacred Valley (4 Days): Acclimatize in the historic Inca capital.
• Machu Picchu (2 Days): Take the Vistadome train through the Andes to the world’s most famous citadel.
• Lima (1 Day): Indulge in "Nikkei" cuisine (Japanese-Peruvian fusion) before flying back toward the Atlantic.

Phase 4: The Grand Finale – Buenos Aires & Return (Days 18–21)

• Buenos Aires, Argentina (3 Days): The "Paris of the South." Enjoy a Tango show in San Telmo and the colorful streets of La Boca.
• Departure: Fly back to India via São Paulo or Rio, utilizing your multi-entry visa for your final transit stay.

Essential "Pro-Tips" for Indian Travelers

1. The Visa Logistics

The new 10-year VIVIS (Tourist) visa is issued at the Brazilian Embassy in New Delhi or the Consulate in Mumbai.

• Stay Limit: 90 days per visit, with a cumulative 180-day annual cap.
• Cost: Approximately ₹6,000 – ₹8,000 plus service fees.
• Documentation: You’ll need a valid passport (6+ months), bank statements (3–6 months), and a confirmed return ticket.

2. Health & Vaccinations

Brazil strongly recommends (and sometimes requires) the Yellow Fever vaccination for travelers coming from or going to certain regions. Ensure you have your "Yellow Book" (International Certificate of Vaccination) at least 10 days before flying.

3. Connectivity

South America is vast. Instead of local SIMs in every country, consider an eSIM (like Airalo or Holafly) that covers the entire "LatAm" region to keep your Google Maps and Uber working across borders.

Note on Safety: While Brazil is welcoming, always use "street smart" precautions. Use registered apps like Uber for transport and keep your expensive gadgets tucked away in crowded tourist areas like Copacabana.
