Want to visit Brazil? From next year, US travelers will need to share their bank statements first
From April 2025, travelers from Australia, Canada and the US will need a visa to visit Brazil. But to get it, applicants will need to show they have at least $2,000 in their bank account.
2024 is shaping up to be the year of travel reprieves.
Hot on the heels of the European Union postponing (again) its much-mooted ETIAS program, which will require visitors from most non-EU countries to obtain pre-travel clearance, Brazil has pushed back the start of its new visa system for travelers from the US, Canada and Australia.
However, if 2024 is the year of the reprieve, 2025 is when everything will hit home. And for travelers from those three countries heading to Brazil, it’ll hit home, hit their bank balances – and require them to share their bank statements, too.
ETIAS is slated to start in 2025 and Brazil has now confirmed a start date for its visa program.
From April 10, 2025, citizens from Australia, Canada and the US will need a visa to enter the country. On the plus side, those traveling for tourism or cruise travel can apply for an evisa online, rather than visiting a consulate.

Does the Brazilian government have tight enough control over agents not to abuse this? I'm imagining how much easier it would be to identify ransom targets coming from abroad if a rogue agent was affiliated with a criminal organization.
Rich people don't have all their assets sitting as cash in a current account.
I’m pretty sure that’s the goal
Oh be careful, your xenophobia is showing.
By criticizing the xenophobia of the Brazilian government?
Explain to me how reciprocating how Brazilian are treated by other nations is xenophobia? Because that's what's happening here.
It’s not okay when other nations do it either.
My guy, I called you out on assuming the information would be used to extort people. Now you are moving the goal post so you don't have to feel bad about yourself, instead of doing that, reflect on the fact that you don't want to be that person and like everyone else you made a mistake and allow yourself to learn from it.
