South Korea visa for Brazilian citizens
eTA (travel authorization)
🇧🇷 Brazilian passport → 🇰🇷 South Korea: no visa, but an eta (online authorisation) is required.
How it works
Register online before you fly (minutes, small fee). It links to your passport electronically — airlines check it at check-in, so don't leave it to the airport.
Heads-up: South Korea commonly asks for proof of onward travel (airline check-in (K-ETA)).
Before the airport: run the "Will I board?" checklist for this route →
Beyond South Korea: 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? South Korean citizens visiting Brazil need no visa — visa-free for up to 90 days.
