Brazilian passport holders enjoy significant travel freedom thanks to decades of diplomatic agreements. As of 2026, Brazilians can visit over 170 countries and territories without obtaining a visa in advance — making the Brazilian passport one of the strongest in Latin America. Here is a comprehensive guide to the most popular visa-free destinations for Brazilian travelers.
Europe: Schengen Area
One of the greatest benefits for Brazilian passport holders is free access to the entire Schengen Area for stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period. This includes 27 European countries.
