China visa for Brazilian citizens

Visa required
🇧🇷 Brazilian passport → 🇨🇳 China: yes — a visa arranged in advance.

How it works

You'll need a visa arranged in advance through the embassy or consulate (or an authorised visa centre): application form, passport photos, fee, and often proof of funds, accommodation and onward travel. Start early — processing can take weeks.

Before the airport: run the "Will I board?" checklist for this route →

Beyond China: the Brazil passport

The 🇧🇷 Brazil passport ranks #43 of 199 worldwide, entering 152 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (see the world ranking).

Also visa-free on the Brazil passport: 🇯🇵 Japan (90 days), 🇦🇪 United Arab Emirates (90 days), 🇹🇭 Thailand (90 days) — all 152 open destinations.

Going the other way? Chinese citizens visiting Brazil need a visa arranged in advance.
