Why this verdict

The current Embassy in New Delhi visitor-visa instructions support the document baseline and 90-day visitor limit. The responsible mission's live procedure remains controlling.
Conditional rules
- International transit stays inside the designated transit area and the full journey is on one ticket under a single booking reference Visa-free
Brazil's current transit guidance says no visitor visa is required for this transit pattern, even when the itinerary uses multiple carriers or stopovers.
- Transit uses separate tickets, requires clearing immigration/customs or leaves the designated international transit area Visa required
The official transit guidance requires the normal VIVIS route for a non-exempt nationality.
- Trip involves residence, ordinary paid work or another purpose outside the VIVIS visitor category Visa required
Use the temporary or residence visa/permit route that matches the actual purpose. A visitor waiver or eVisa does not grant general work or residence rights.
- Traveller uses a diplomatic, official, service or another non-ordinary passport Conditional
Brazil's official visa table has separate document columns. Confirm the exact passport type before travel.
