The governments of Brazil and Japan have agreed on the reciprocal exemption of tourist visas for holders of ordinary passports traveling for a period of up to 90 days. The exemption will come into effect on September 30, 2023, for an initial period of three years.
This measure will allow Brazilian and Japanese tourists to visit Japan and Brazil without a visa.
This understanding is the result of an announcement made by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida during President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s visit to Japan last May, regarding the extension of the exemption to Brazilians, thus allowing the Brazilian government to impose the same measure on Japanese citizens, in line with Brazilian immigration policy, which is based on the principles of reciprocity and equal treatment between states.
The exemption will contribute to strengthening human ties and relations between the two countries in the year that marks the 115th anniversary of Japanese immigration to Brazil.
The Brazilian passport has become one of the most powerful. Check the complete list of countries to which Brazilians can travel for tourism with just a passport:
