Visa for United Kingdom as
brazilian.
Honest, up-to-date guide for 2026. No travel-blog cliches, no easy promises.
Do I need a visa?
Since January 2025, Brazilian passport holders need an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) to enter the UK. It costs £10, is valid for 2 years, and allows stays of up to 6 months per entry.
Until 2024, Brazilians could enter the UK without a visa. From 2025, the ETA is mandatory.
The ETA costs £10, is valid for 2 years, and allows multiple entries of up to 6 months each.
For studies longer than 6 months, work, or immigration, a physical visa via UK Visas and Immigration is required.
This is Voyspark's official page on entering the United Kingdom for Brazilian passport holders.
The good news: the ETA is cheap and fast. £10, online, approved within 72 hours.
The catch: UK Border Force is thorough — expect detailed questions about your plans.

Confusing the ETA with a visa
The ETA is an electronic travel authorisation — no interview, no physical document.
One-way ticket
Likely boarding denial at the departure airport.
Vague answers at the border
Officers want specifics: cities, dates, activities.

Any paid work, including freelance, is prohibited.
Staying beyond 6 months
Overstaying generates a re-entry ban.
