The Royal Thai Embassy in Brasília, on Avenida das Nações in the embassy sector (SEN), is Thailand's embassy in Brazil. For most Brazilian travellers it matters less than they expect: Brazilians can visit Thailand for up to 90 days without a visa, under a bilateral agreement that the September 2026 rule changes did not touch.
The embassy handles visas for longer or non-tourist stays, all through the online e-Visa portal, plus legalisation of Brazilian documents for use in Thailand. The consular section works by appointment, booked by email.

Thailand's Office of Commercial Affairs for Brazil is in São Paulo, not Brasília. It handles trade enquiries, not visas.
Which Areas This Mission Covers
The embassy covers Brazil. Its site does not list other countries in its jurisdiction and does not publish a residence rule for visa applicants. If you live outside Brazil, apply through the Thai mission for your country of residence, and email [email protected] if you are unsure which mission the portal should show you.
The embassy also runs mobile consular services in other Brazilian cities. In 2026 these included Porto Alegre (25 August) and Recife (27 August).
Do You Need a Visa?
Brazilian passport holders: no, for up to 90 days of tourism. Brazil is one of five countries with a 90-day bilateral exemption for ordinary passports, alongside Argentina, Chile, Peru and South Korea. The embassy's own summary of the revised scheme, effective 15 September 2026, lists Brazil in the 90-day bilateral group. Most other nationalities now get 30 days or need a visa, so Brazilians keep one of the longest visa-free stays Thailand offers.
What still applies on arrival:
- Tourism only. The exemption is not a work permit and does not cover employment.
- Funds. Immigration officers may ask to see 20,000 THB per person or 40,000 THB per family.
- Onward travel. Carry a return or onward ticket.
- Land borders. Entries on a visa exemption over land borders are limited to twice per calendar year.
- TDAC. File the Thailand Digital Arrival Card at tdac.immigration.go.th within three days before arrival.
- Extensions of a bilateral-exemption stay are at the discretion of Thai immigration.
See visa exemption and the 2026 exemption changes.
Non-Brazilian residents of Brazil follow their own passport's rules. Use the visa finder.
You need a visa through the embassy for other purposes or longer stays: a Non-Immigrant B for business or work, Non-Immigrant O for family, O-A for retirement, an education visa, or the DTV for remote workers.
How to Apply
The embassy's visa page gives four steps:
- Go to thaievisa.go.th and create an account.
- Log in, choose the visa type and upload the required documents. The portal lists the documents for each category.
- Pay by credit card and wait for the decision.
- If approved, the visa arrives by email. Print it and present it to immigration.
The embassy does not publish its own processing time or a real-denominated fee table; the portal shows the fee before payment. For help with the portal, see our Thailand e-Visa guide.
DTV applicants: new documents since 31 August 2026. The embassy posted a Ministry of Foreign Affairs notice: the "document indicating current location" is replaced by proof of permanent residence, and a certificate of criminal record clearance is added. Applications submitted before 31 August 2026 are processed under the old rules. Brazilian citizens applying from Brazil meet the residence test; foreigners living in Brazil should check what counts as permanent residence before paying.
Practical Notes
Legalising Brazilian documents. Bring every document to the embassy in Brasília in person. Each needs the original Portuguese version and a sworn English translation, both stamped by Itamaraty (MRE, the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs). The embassy charges R$90 per MRE stamp, paid by PIX.
Book before you go. The consular section asks for an appointment by email in advance.
Holidays. The embassy posts its 2026 holiday list as an image on its Office Hours page. It closes on its own holidays even within normal office hours.
90 days is per entry, not a residence right. Long stays for work, study or retirement need the proper Non-Immigrant visa, applied for before you travel.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Brazilians need a visa for Thailand?
Not for tourism of up to 90 days. Brazil has a bilateral visa-exemption agreement with Thailand for ordinary passports, and it continues after the rule changes of 15 September 2026.
Did the 2026 changes cut Brazil's stay to 30 days?
No. The 30-day rule applies to the 60 countries on Thailand's new exemption list. Brazil is covered separately by its bilateral agreement, which still gives 90 days.
How do I apply for a Thai visa in Brazil?
Online at thaievisa.go.th. Create an account, choose the visa, upload documents and pay by credit card. The approved visa is emailed to you.
