Checked against Wikipedia's list of visa requirements for British citizens on 2026-10-04. Entry rules change: confirm with the embassy of Brazil or its official government website before you travel.

What this means for your trip

Visa-free entry lets you arrive with a valid passport and pass border control without applying in advance.

Border officers can still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay, and they decide on entry. The stay limit applies per visit; many countries also cap total days within a period.

Your passport should normally be valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date and have blank pages for stamps; many countries apply this rule.

Plugs and voltage

You need a travel adapter: Brazil uses plug types C, N, the United Kingdom uses G. Mains voltage differs (Brazil: 127/220 V; the United Kingdom: 230 V): most phone and laptop chargers accept 100–240 V, but single-voltage devices such as some hair dryers need a converter.
