Since August 20, 2026, Brazilian consulates may issue visas in foreign passports to children of Brazilian citizens and dual nationals under the same conditions and fees applicable to other foreign passport holders. To enter Brazil as a Brazilian citizen, travelers are advised to carry a Brazilian identity document; otherwise, they may be registered as foreign visitors subject to limited-stay rules.
According to the source, the change makes it easier to use a foreign passport temporarily when applying for a Brazilian visa, including an e-Visa. However, using that visa does not remove the possible status of a Brazilian citizen, and lacking a Brazilian identity document can result in registration as a foreign visitor, with stay limits and potential fines. The measure primarily affects dual nationals, children of Brazilian citizens, and families traveling to or returning to Brazil. They should check their Brazilian documents in advance and decide which entry status applies to them.
