Flag of Brazil — Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) for Brazilian citizens: visa, immigration and entry requirements
For Passport Holders: Brazil 🇧🇷

Thailand Travel Requirements for Brazilian Citizens

Visa rules, TDAC arrival card, customs, currency, vaccines and embassy contacts for Brazilian travellers heading to Thailand in 2026.

Visa Status: Visa Exempt (90 Days)

Entry Requirements

If you hold a passport from Brazil, you must submit a Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) before entering the Kingdom of Thailand. The TDAC replaced the paper-based TM6 form and is now required for all international arrivals — regardless of your visa status or purpose of travel.

As a Brazilian citizen, you are eligible for visa exempt (90 days) entry. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry. The TDAC collects your personal details, travel information, and accommodation address in Thailand.

⚠️ Common Issue for Brazilian Passport Holders

CPF number not required on TDAC — this is the most common reason for TDAC rejections from Brazilian travelers. Our system automatically detects and corrects these issues before submission, ensuring your arrival card is accepted without delays at immigration.

How to Apply

  1. 1Have your Brazil passport ready with at least 6 months validity from your planned entry date.
  2. 2Complete the online form on TDAC.info with your personal details, travel itinerary, and accommodation address in Thailand.
  3. 3Our team reviews your submission for errors and you receive your approved QR code via email before your departure.
  4. 4Present your QR code at Thai immigration upon arrival — no paper forms needed, skip the queues.

Visa Status

Brazilian citizens: Visa Exempt (90 Days). No visa application required for tourist stays within the allowed period.

Visa Duration for Brazilian Citizens

Brazilian passport holders can stay in Thailand for 90 days under the bilateral agreement — unchanged by the 15 Sep 2026 reform under the current visa exemption. Extensions are available at local Immigration offices.

Auto Gates at Suvarnabhumi: Brazil Is Not on the Announced List

On 17 August 2026 Thailand approved in principle the addition of 31 more passports to the automated arrival gates at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport, joining Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong. Brazil is not among them, so arrival is at a manned immigration counter as before. The Thailand Digital Arrival Card remains mandatory either way and has to be filed before you travel.

The 90-Second Version

Brazilians reach Thailand on one of the longest journeys of any nationality — 24–30 hours via Dubai, Doha, Istanbul or Addis Ababa — and tend to come for three weeks or more, often combining Bangkok, the islands and a second Asian country. Brazilian passport holders get 60 visa-free days. Visa-free days for Brazilian passports: 90 days, tourism and short business visits. Where you land: Suvarnabhumi (BKK), Bangkok.

What Immigration Checks on Brazilian Passports

  • Yellow fever certificate. Brazil is a yellow-fever endemic country under WHO rules, so Thai immigration can ask Brazilian arrivals for the international certificate (CIVP). Carry it; most are not asked, but those who are cannot enter without it.
  • Onward ticket. Checked by the airline on one-way tickets; a flight out within your permitted stay is enough.
  • Passport validity. Six months from entry; Brazilian passports are ten-year documents for adults, five or less for minors.

Your Name on the TDAC

Brazilian passports print given names and surnames separately and the MRZ keeps all surnames in the surname segment — DA<SILVA<SANTOS<<ANA<PAULA — so the TDAC surname field must read DA SILVA SANTOS in full and the given-names field ANA PAULA. Accents and ç vanish in the MRZ (Conceição is CONCEICAO). The TDAC does not ask for a CPF or RG — only the passport number, which is two letters followed by six digits.

Practical Notes for Brazilian Travellers

  • Money. Brazilian international Visa/Mastercard cards work in Thai ATMs; the flat 220 THB machine fee plus IOF makes withdrawals expensive, so take fewer, larger amounts or bring US dollars to exchange. Reais cannot be exchanged in Thailand.
  • Arrival day. Thailand is 10 hours ahead of Brasília; you land two calendar days after a morning departure on some routings — use the local Thai date on your ticket for the TDAC.
  • Help in Thailand. The Brazilian Embassy is on Sathorn Road in Bangkok.

At the Airport

Most Brazilian travellers reach Bangkok via a connection in the Gulf, Singapore or Hong Kong and land at Suvarnabhumi (BKK).
