As of September 30, 2023, Brazilians who wish to explore Japan for a period of up to 90 days will be exempt from the visa requirement. This waiver will be valid for an initial period of three years.
With this new policy in place, Brazilian tourists will have the chance to explore Japan without having to go through the visa process.

This positive milestone is the result of ongoing negotiations between the Embassy of Japan and the Brazilian government, a collaboration that began in 2019.
At that time, visas became optional for Japanese citizens wishing to visit Brazil. It is believed that the visa continued to be required for Brazilians, perhaps due to the covid-19 pandemic.
Despite this, Brazil decided to resume the need for visas for tourists. Now, this belated act of reciprocity allows travelers from Brazil to benefit from this change as well.

Japan wants to boost tourism and lifts visa requirement
The new regulation will be implemented before the reintroduction of the visa requirement for Japanese citizens to enter Brazil, a change that was scheduled for October 1st.
The decision to apply for a visa by the Brazilian government was motivated by the lack of diplomatic reciprocity.
This change in scenario occurs as part of the strategies adopted by the Japanese government to stimulate the resumption of the tourism in the country.
The Government of Japan thus demonstrates its commitment to revitalizing the tourism industry through proactive actions, providing a more favorable environment for international visitors.
The attitude has been taken by other countries, mainly to make up for lost time and warm up the economy that was affected by the pandemic.
By implementing this visa policy change, Japan seeks to broaden its appeal as a tourist destination by offering a more accessible and inviting experience for travelers.
