Dual Citizenship: What to Do When Your Brazilian Passport Expires

If you are a citizen with dual nationality (Brazilian and American) living in the United States, it is important to know: Brazilians cannot apply for a visa to enter Brazil . This means that even if you have an American passport, you cannot use it to enter Brazil as a tourist if you are also Brazilian by birth or naturalization.

If your Brazilian passport has expired, it is necessary to renew it before traveling. Entry into Brazil must be made with a valid Brazilian passport, even if you have not used your Brazilian documents for a long time. Many Brazilians in the U.S. are surprised by this requirement and only find out when it is too late to complete the process calmly.

The renewal process may seem complicated, but it doesn't have to be that way.The team at Pontal Brazil is ready to assist you at every step.
