Why this verdict
Brazilian nationals are visa-exempt for short stays in Japan up to 90 days only when they hold an ordinary ICAO-compliant ePassport. The waiver resumed on 30 September 2023, but travellers without that passport type should still treat the corridor as visa-required in advance.
Conditional rules
- Traveller does not hold an ICAO-compliant ordinary ePassport Visa required
Japan's current waiver for Brazil is limited to holders of ordinary ePassports compliant with ICAO standards. Travellers without that passport type should obtain a visa in advance.
