Manaus
Manaus is one of Brazil’s main cities, a metropolis in the middle of the Amazon. The city, located in the cradle of the riches of the largest forest in the world, is an ideal destination for visitors looking to get in touch with nature, the typical gastronomy and cultural manifestations of the region, serving as the gateway to the Amazon.

Bathed by the largest river in the world, the Amazon River, the city offers a variety of freshwater beaches. Ponta Negra Beach, a meeting point for visitors and locals, is the region’s most famous sports and leisure complex. Its natural beauty is a stage for adventurers and families alike. Manaus is also known for its famous natural phenomenon, the Meeting of the Waters, which takes place when the Rio Negro meets the Rio Solimões. The great aesthetic range formed by the colour of the waters is one of the most unforgettable experiences you can have.

Nearby destinations offer a variety of accommodation options in the middle of the forest, such as ecolodges, which offer immersive and quietly luxurious experiences in the forest, combining incredible accommodation with nature experiences.

In Manaus, you can also embark on river cruises that sail along the majestic Amazon rivers. Observe the wealth of stunning scenery, with closed forest margins, treetops teeming with colourful birds and meet charming riverside communities.

The architecture of Manaus, influenced by the colonial period and Brazilian urbanisation in the Rubber Cycle, is a major attraction in the city. The Amazonas Theater, an important space for the country’s culture, stands out for its more than 30,000 ceramic pieces.

In addition, the Adolpho Lisboa Municipal Market, listed as a Brazilian heritage site, is one of the icons that connects visitors to the history of the development of Manaus’ population. Praça Largo de São Sebastião is a space that concentrates experiences in the centre of Manaus, an area where you can also find another important attraction for the city, the Church of São Sebastião.

Discover the heart of the Amazon Rainforest and live sustainable and spectacular experiences.

To do this, they need to fulfil the following requirements:

Visas

The visa is the document issued by Brazilian consulates abroad that allows foreigners to enter and stay in the country. Citizens of Mercosur countries do not need a visa to enter and stay in Brazil, they only need to present their passport or a valid identity document. Visitor visas may be issued for tourism, business, transit, artistic or sports activities, and the stay may not exceed ninety days.

Do you need a visa?
To find out whether you need a visa to travel to Brazil, consult the Consular Portal. Brazil has a visa policy based on the principle of reciprocity. This means that all countries that require Brazilian citizens to obtain visas to enter their territory also require visas to enter Brazil. According to Brazil’s current migration legislation (Law 13.445/2017), visa exemptions can only be granted by the Brazilian authorities on a reciprocal basis, through a bilateral agreement on the matter. Brazil has bilateral visa waiver agreements with about 90 countries.

Visum

Das Visum ist das von brasilianischen Konsularvertretungen im Ausland ausgestellte Dokument, das Ausländern die Einreise und den Aufenthalt im Staatsgebiet ermöglicht. Für die Einreise und den Aufenthalt in Brasilien benötigen Bürger von Mercosur-Mitgliedsländern kein Visum, sondern lediglich die Vorlage eines gültigen Reisepasses oder Ausweises.Das Besuchsvisum kann für Reisen zu touristischen, geschäftlichen, Transit-, künstlerischen oder sportlichen Zwecken erteilt werden, wobei der Aufenthalt neunzig Tage nicht überschreiten darf.

Benötigen Sie ein Visum?
Um herauszufinden, ob Sie für die Reise nach Brasilien ein Visum benötigen, schauen Sie im Konsularportal nach. Brasilien führt eine Visumerteilungspolitik ein, die auf dem Prinzip der Gegenseitigkeit basiert. Das bedeutet, dass fast alle Länder, die von brasilianischen Staatsbürgern ein Visum für die Einreise in ihr Hoheitsgebiet verlangen, auch ein Visum für die Reise nach Brasilien benötigen. Nach der aktuellen brasilianischen Migrationsgesetzgebung (Gesetz 13.445/2017) können die brasilianischen Behörden Visumbefreiungen nur auf Gegenseitigkeitsbasis und im Rahmen einer bilateralen Vereinbarung in dieser Angelegenheit gewähren. Brasilien hat mit rund 90 Ländern bilaterale Vereinbarungen über die Befreiung von der Visumpflicht.

Wo kann man ein Visum beantragen?
Itamaraty ist die brasilianische Regierungsbehörde, die für die Erteilung von Visa zuständig ist, die über brasilianische Botschaften, Generalkonsulate, Konsulate und Vizekonsulate im Ausland erfolgt. Staatsangehörige anderer Länder, die ein Visum für die Reise nach Brasilien erhalten möchten, müssen sich an die brasilianischen Konsularvertretungen im Ausland wenden, um weitere Informationen zu dem Antrag zu erhalten.

Visas

Avez-vous besoin d’un visa ?

En vertu de la législation brésilienne actuelle en matière de migration (loi 13.445/2017), les exemptions de visa ne peuvent être accordées par les autorités brésiliennes, sur une base réciproque, qu’au moyen d’un accord bilatéral sur le sujet. Le Brésil a conclu des accords bilatéraux d’exemption de visa avec environ 90 pays.

Comment obtenir un visa ?
L’Itamaraty est l’organisme gouvernemental brésilien responsable de l’octroi des visas, qui s’effectue par l’intermédiaire des ambassades, consulats généraux, consulats et vice-consulats brésiliens à l’étranger.
