MFA Press Statement: Coming into force of the Singapore-Brazil Partial Visa Abolition Agreement (VAA)

 

            The Government of the Republic of Singapore and the Government of the Federative Republic of Brazil have both completed their respective ratification procedures for the Agreement on Partial Exemption of Visa Requirements for Ordinary Passport Holders signed in December 2011.  As such, with effect from 10 January 2014, Singaporean ordinary passport holders will be able to visit Brazil for business or tourism purposes for a period of up to 30 days without a visa.  Individuals intending to stay for more than 30 days at a time, or for more than 180 days a year, or to seek employment, are required to apply for the appropriate visa.  The coming into force of this Agreement will facilitate greater business and tourism exchanges between both countries, and strengthen the warm friendship between Singapore and Brazil.
