<P> Visa requirements for Brazilian citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of Brazil . As of 1 March 2018, Brazilian citizens had visa - free or visa on arrival access to 160 countries and territories, ranking the Brazilian passport 17th in terms of travel freedom according to the Henley visa restrictions index . </P> <P> Passport applications are now made exclusively through the Internet, on the Federal Police Department's Web site . One fills the necessary information in an on - line form and must print the application form and the bank document for paying the required fee . If the new - model passport is going to be issued (the site will inform if it is available at the chosen city and post), an appointment must be previously scheduled; this is also done on - line . </P> <P> At the scheduled time (or at any time during the passport issuing post's working hours, for the old model), the applicant goes to the chosen Federal Police post with the required documents (no photograph needed for the new model, since the photo is taken digitally on the spot) and the passport will be ready at most six working days later (usually less). There is no fast - track system under ordinary circumstances . </P> <P> The applicant's physical presence at the post is required for both applying for and picking up the passport, even if the old - model version will be issued . Special cases where the applicant is unable to go in person for relevant reasons (such as health issues) must be arranged with the authorities on a case - by - case basis . </P>
