Do I Need a Visa to Cross From Argentina to Brazil at Iguazu Falls if I Am a Foreigner?

If you are a foreign traveler, whether you need a visa to cross from Argentina to Brazil at Iguazu Falls depends on your nationality. Here are some general guidelines:

1. Citizens of Mercosur countries and associated states: Citizens of several South American countries can enter Brazil for tourism without a visa. Under Mercosur travel agreements, travelers from eligible member and associated countries may also be able to cross the border using an accepted national identity document instead of a passport. The document must be valid for international travel and in good condition.
2. Citizens of other countries:
   • Travelers from many visa-exempt countries, including most European countries, generally do not need a visa for short tourist visits to Brazil. However, requirements vary according to nationality, and some travelers must obtain a visa before entering Brazil.
   • Since April 10, 2025, citizens of the United States, Canada, and Australia are required to obtain an electronic visitor visa (e-Visa) before entering Brazil, including when crossing the border by land from Argentina.

Because visa and entry requirements can change, we recommend checking the official Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs visa requirements according to your nationality before traveling.
