Brazil will introduce electronic temporary visas, or VITEMs, from September 1, 2026. The measure concerns nationals of countries whose citizens do not need visitor visas to enter Brazil.
Tunisia is included in that category. Tunisians can currently benefit from a visitor-visa exemption, known as VIVIS, for stays of up to 90 days.
The reform concerns the process for temporary visas, but it does not change the entry conditions for tourist trips.
