Immigration Control and Entry Forms in Brazil: real experience from chats

Short answer
Travelers arriving in Brazil are not required to fill out physical arrival or departure cards. Immigration officers typically only verify the purpose and duration of the stay before stamping the passport.

From real experience

As of late 2025, anecdotal evidence from travelers entering Brazil (e.g., São Paulo) suggests that a physical immigration card or advance online forms/QR codes may no longer be universally required for entry.
Immigration officials primarily ask for the purpose of visit and duration of stay. However, information from other sources might still indicate a requirement to fill out a card on the plane or at the airport. Travelers should be prepared for either scenario, but direct pre-departure online forms for general tourist entry are not consistently mentioned.
