VFS Global - logoIn a groundbreaking move, VFS Global has partnered with Brazil’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to provide an enhanced eVisa application experience for travellers from Australia, Canada, and the United States. This exclusive collaboration marks a significant step in simplifying the visa process for those seeking to explore Brazil’s vibrant culture and stunning landscapes for business or leisure.

Starting January 10, 2024, passport holders from these three countries will be required to obtain an eVisa to enter Brazil. This new process represents a paradigm shift in international travel, prioritizing efficiency and user convenience. The eVisa service, accessible via the VFS Global website, is a testament to the company’s commitment to providing seamless travel experiences.

The introduction of this innovative eVisa platform results from a competitive tender awarded by the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. VFS Global, known for its exceptional service standards, impressively launched the eVisa platform within a mere three-week timeframe, adhering to the specific requirements set by the Brazilian authorities. The platform, which went live on December 1, 2023, offers an intuitive, responsive, and user-friendly digital interface compatible with desktop and mobile devices, simplifying the visa application process like never before.

Amit Kumar Sharma, Head-Americas at VFS Global, commented on the launch: “Brazil is a beloved destination for global travellers, and the introduction of the eVisa service is a game-changer for travellers from the United States, Canada, and Australia. With an expected annual customer count of 205,000, this seamless service is designed to enhance the overall application experience. This initiative is a part of our ongoing efforts to innovate and enhance the travel experience, and we look forward to introducing more convenient solutions in the future.”

Since 2017, VFS Global has been a trusted partner of the Government of Brazil, handling nearly 290,000 visa applications. This long-standing relationship underscores the company’s expertise and reliability in managing travel documentation processes.

In addition to Brazil, VFS Global offers eVisa services for several other countries, including Azerbaijan, the UAE (for Emirates passengers), Equatorial Guinea, Thailand, and South Africa (for Nigerian nationals). This expansion indicates VFS Global’s growing influence and dedication to making international travel more accessible and hassle-free.

As the global travel industry continues to evolve, partnerships like VFS Global and Brazil’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs are crucial in driving innovations that benefit travellers worldwide. This new eVisa service not only streamlines the visa application process but also enhances the overall travel experience, encouraging more people to explore the wonders of Brazil and beyond.
