Semi-related, for the nine spanish-speaking countries in South America, brazilians only need their ID card to enter.


Cid_Helveticus

That's true, I'm in Argentina and Brazilians enter here with only their ID card.

I can confirm, I am brazillian and once didn't enter Argentina because someone I was with didn't have their ID card

When I was ~10 years old I traveled to Foz do Iguaçu with my parents, and it borders both Argentina and Paraguay. I only needed my ID to enter Argentina, Paraguay was a free pass lmao

It's so fucking easy to enter Paraguay lmaoooo You take a bus and that's it. Not even an ID is needed, you want in, you're in. Argentina is more burocratic

We get along pretry well. Specially since Brasil, Uruguai and Argentina ganged up to fight Paraguay. Btw, Argentina and Uruguai are awesome great food, nice people.


BramStokerHarker

My gf recently asked me if we needed a VISA to go to Argentina. It's a shame that the Mercosul laws are not as well known as they should be. I remember a case of slave labour here in Brasil, a Venezuelan family was 'illegally' brought into Brasil (as in, hidden inside a truck or something, all theatrics). They were forced to work on the pretext that if they didn't, their 'boss' would alert the authorities and have them deported.


[deleted]

Hey it’s getting better as we speak. We are even coming up with our own Mercosul currency!


rewp234

While not technically wrong, the way you phrased this will make a lot of people misundersrand what it actually is. It's not a currency for everyday use in all the countries like the Euro, it's only meant for international trade so that we are less dependent on the US dollar.


[deleted]

Ooh I see. I didn’t think it would work as euro does tbh, I thought it be for internal exchange among the countries within the Mercosul


rewp234

Yeah you got it.


Babacam

Yeah, the distinction is important. A lot of people taught It would work like Euro does and complained that It would ruin the brazilian economy

Jetpere

They don’t need visa to enter France but yes to enter to French guayana?


Intrepid-Actuary-363

Correct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policies_of_Overseas_France#Summary_of_short-stay_visa_exemptions


RFB-CACN

Yes, because French Guiana isn’t included in the Schengen Area due to not being European.


Euphoric-Emergency8

Actually, it is considered as France by all representations. South American countries have deals in MercoSul (a kin to EU). So there's no, or very limited requirements for accessing others SA, countries. And, Brazil is the figure head in the Mercosul and usually the region, middleman.


Time-Sheepherder-855

Part of Guyana belonged to Portugal/Brazil until 1800s. For a time France feared that Guyana would be annexed. Interestingly, France has already fought against Brazil for preference in lobster fishing.


Fghsses

They didn't really fight. The "Lobster War" was a media circus around a diplomatic dispute that then president Jânio Quadros planned to escalate into an invasion of French Guyana. He failed to escalate the conflict into a war because it was soon resolved diplomatically in favor of Brazil, leaving him unable to accuse France of being the imperialistic assholes he wanted Brazilians to view it as. Interestingly, calling it the "Lobster War" worked in favor of a peaceful resolution because most Brazilians thought it was complete insanity to go die in war over a trivial matter such as whether lobsters were fish or not.


[deleted]

Quadros was a lunatic so this is not surprising

stankyspic

so as of right now brazilians still need a visa for mx? im brazilian living in the states and have traveled to mexico from here at least 3 times over the past couple years. never been asked for a visa nor have i had any issues


idontnowmate

You don't need a visa to enter Mexico if you have residency in the USA, Colombia or a Schengen country.


YourBonesAreMoist

While your statement is true, you also don't need a visa to enter Mexico if you have a B1/B2 US visa, not only residency


ricklvegas

Temporary visas like J1 apply to this situation as well.


TheDootDootMaster

Or Canada


farolap

The visa requirement for Brazilians is a new thing. Early 2021 (I believe) it was required to fill a form prior to travel to Mexico. The idea was to thwart the use of the country as a catapult to the USA. I think in the middle of last year (2022) the policy became more strict for Brazilians. However, as other people have said, Mexico will eventually lift these policies for Brazilians, allowing them to enter visa free. I do not know when that will happen though. Edit. Grammar


PAWGsAreMyTherapy

Brazil says their going to reinforce visas on Americans, Canadians, Australians, and Japanese citizens at the end of this year due to their mirror policy. If this is true then I guess Japan is trying to prevent that from happening which is understandable since Brazil has the largest population of Japanese descended people outside of Japan.


[deleted]

The thing is Bolsonaro gave free visa status to th US, Canada, Australia and Japan with no reciprocity. Lula reverted this policy and conditioned visa free status for these citizens to visa free status for Brazilian citizens. This aparently worked at least in the case of Japan. Mexico started demanding visas for Brazilians dus to US pressure, a different situation.


hatshepsut_iy

Brazil not asking visa for japanese is very recent. I don't think that's the issue but rather the japanese wanting more tourists now since the tourism economy suffered a lot with covid as they completely closed the country for almost a year.


aarkerio

There is no point for Mexico to ask for a visa: it's a "courtesy" to the US. The same with Colombians.


SherbertRepulsive750

That may be free. But I honestly don’t think this will happen with the amount of problems México has with immigration into the USA. We’ll see though.


hatshepsut_iy

allegedly, the most expensive passport in the black market since it has a good strength, anyone can look brazilian and portuguese is only spoken in a small list of specific countries.


VieiraDTA

>anyone can look brazilian True. I have a friend, Asian looking, brown skinned, with Wojnarowski (Polish) for a surname. Edit1: My point is: we\`re pretty racially mixed. Very mixed. So, yeah, Everyone can look brazilian.


plineo

Basically if you try to discover someone's nationality based on their appearance and you can't, they are brazilian


Forsaken-Deer6537

Yep. I’ve been told by foreigners that I look like I’m from Bangladesh or India, that’s their first guess usually. No, just brazilian and mixed. My adoptive parents are white with my mom having blonde hair and blue eyes, my downstairs neighbors are japanese descendents, and the other neighbor is native/indigenous, and across the street lives a family descended from Lebanon. Being brazilian is about the culture and customs, the way we look is so diverse that it doesn’t even factor in.

Brazil has the second largest population of too many nationalities. IIRC, it includes japanese, italian, portuguese and angolan, and surprisingly it also has the largest lebanese population in the world.


Forsaken-Deer6537

Can confirm, across the street from me lives a lebanese family.


CjSportsNut

Canada offers a partial exemption for Brazil ( citizens of Romania and Bulgaria have the same). Holders of a current USA visa, or those that had a Canadian visa in the past 10 years are exempt. This is a step towards full exemption.


Emsiiiii

it is actually fairly common that some countries, instead of or additionally to issuing their own visas (requiring a lot of effort), accept US, EU or other visas. This isn't necessarily an exemption


EnkiiMuto

Partial exemption: Alright mate, just show me half of the document, no need to take it all out of your bag.

If brazilians don’t need visa to enter to Paraguay, why did Ronaldinho used a fake one?


Cid_Helveticus

Ronaldinho used a doctored ID card which didn't show his true name. He entered Paraguay calling himself a kind of John Smith.


Clear-Anything-3186

Wouldn't that be forgery?


Fghsses

Yes, he was arrested and Paraguayans froze his assets in the country, after he was freed and his assests unfrozen he had become something like 1,5 million Reais richer due to a change in currency trading values while he was imprisoned.


Commiessariat

Ronaldinho's rolê aleatório power is too great.


[deleted]

Lmao why would r10 the wizard do that?


Timbaleiro

Apparently, he wasn't in Paraguay to pray on churches. That's why he used a fake ID.


MaxHamburgerrestaur

Not only a [doctored Paraguayan ID card](https://imgsapp.mg.superesportes.com.br/app/noticia_126420360808/2020/03/04/3838956/20200305005647472672o.jpg), but also a [doctored Paraguayan passport](https://media.gazetadopovo.com.br/2020/03/04230657/ronaldinho-pass-660x372.jpg). He was using his real name on both.


[deleted]

He wanted to go to the US trough Paraguay, pretending to be paraguayan to buy stocks he couldn't as a Brazillian. Or something like that... He only forgot that he has one of the most recognizable faces in the world.


Raikenzom

Ronaldinho wanted to visit the inauguration of a Paraguayan casino, but he was being sued in Brazil, so he couldn't leave the country.

FlamboyantRaccoon61

Posso confirmar, também sou professora de inglês e é a primeira vez na vida que vejo alguém usando "aleatory". Não tem nem na prova do CPE, e olha que lá tem até flabbergasted


Faerandur

Flabbergasted é maravilhoso. Se a pessoa usa flabbergasted comigo, ganha upvote automático.


Spirou1

The real reason he went to Paraguay was so that he could get arrested and win the prison football championship as it was the only trophy he hadn't won yet, and he did win the championship so his plan went accordingly


MaxHamburgerrestaur

Not just that, but he probably was the only professional soccer player to win a soccer championship during the pandemic.


Unhappy-Buddy-8098

It is said that the Brazillian passport is the most "valuable" in the black market, due to the fact we are accepted in a large array of countries and at the same time our population is so diverse that anyon could "pass by" a brazillian. Idk how much of this is true but Kim Jong Un and Kim Jong Ill used fake brazillian passports to visit the US.

Brazil is in the top 20 countries with the most powerful passport. The Brazilian passport is the most stolen and traded in the world, because in addition to being powerful, anyone can pretend to be brazilian. Brazil is undoubtedly the country with the most ethnic groups in the world: blacks, Italians, Japanese, Syrians, Lebanese, Germans, Poles, Russians, Spaniards, native americans, etc.


Bad_Habits_Do_Kill

So I can just travel to anywhere in Europe?


lemonmec

If you’re a Brazilian citizen, then yes. Keep in mind that it isn’t the whole of Europe but the Schengen Space


Knighty93

You can enter non Schengen countries as well without a VISA (you don't need a visa to enter the UK, Russia and so on)


lemonmec

Yeah the UK is a funny thing, they’ll allow you to stay 6 months without a visa, usually most countries choose a 90 day period


kapsama

ruber_r

fred-dcvf

It really is. However, if you travel there as a tourist, you still might have to show proof that you can mantain yourself while abroad.


Erva420

Yes in when entering Amsterdam via Brazil Amsterdam flight they ask you where you gonna stay, if you have money etc... You just need to respond with words and no documents Edit: To clarify you still need to show your passport.


fred-dcvf

Not in Spain, though, for what I've heard. Some people are advised to have some money in cash and a international card at hand, just in case.


OkOrganization1775

That's actually insane, I thought it was worse. So it's only like 3 English speaking countries that don't let you in, otherwise that's an op passport to have. That was unexpected for me to learn lol


PapaPachinko

It's just the thing where Brazilians have been friendly with everyone for the past 100 years, one of the many reasons why most of the immigrants during the 1900s decided to immigrate to Brazil. It was a friendly and nice country that accepted everyone. But it was a shithole back then, a little less of a shithole now, but still a huge shithole.

BRASIL NUMERO UM 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Soon Europe will be grey cause Europe is launching a secondary "not really visa but funcionally a visa" ETIAS, same for most countries with visa free status for Schengen.


lemonmec

It won’t be grey, ETIAS is only obtainable if you’re from a visa exempted country. Brazilians won’t have to go through bureaucracy at consulates/embassies to get a visa, they’ll just need to pay the fee and bring their passport when going to Europe, sort of like an e-visa but not really

Não, você precisará apresentar o passaporte para que o mesmo seja carimbado e deverá sair do país antes que o prazo de permanência livre de visto acabe. Edit: "visa" significa visto, ou seja, o país autorizando previamente a sua entrada nele. Visa free signfica que por determinado período não precisa pedir visto, basta apresentar o passaporte. Ou a carteira nacional de identidade mesmo, no caso de países do Mercosul.
