Do I need a visa to cross from Argentina to Brazil at Iguazu Falls if I am a foreigner?

Iguazu Falls Brazilian side

If you are a foreigner, the need for 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 (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Venezuela, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and French Guiana): No visa is required to enter Brazil. You can cross using your identity document (ID card or national ID).

  2. Citizens of other countries:

    • Tourists from non-Mercosur countries (such as the United States, Canada, Australia, most European countries, etc.) generally do not require a visa for short visits to Brazil for tourism purposes. However, some countries do require a visa.
    • From April 2025, citizens of countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia will need an e-visa to enter Brazil.

It is recommended to check with consular authorities or the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Brazil to confirm the exact requirements based on your nationality before traveling.
