Visa-Free Entry Rules for Russians in Brazil: real experience from chats

Short answer
Russian citizens are permitted a 90-day visa-free stay in Brazil within a 365-day calendar year as of January 1, 2025. This stay can be extended for an additional 90 days by applying to the Federal Police, though visa runs are now effectively restricted.

From real experience

Brazil visa policy for Russian citizens: 90 days stay allowed initially, extendable for another 90 days at the Federal Police (Polícia Federal) by paying a fee.
Alternatively, travelers can leave the country and re-enter to get a new 90-day stamp. Total stay is effectively limited to 180 days per year.

Tourists entering Brazil are generally granted a 90-day stay within a 180-day migratory period.
If a tourist leaves Brazil and returns, the remaining days from the previous stay are carried over, not reset to a full 90 days. However, an extension of an additional 90 days can be requested from the Federal Police. Some users suggest that re-entry may grant a fresh 90-day period, provided the total stay does not exceed 180 days within a 12-month migratory year. It is advisable to consult the Federal Police for the most accurate and up-to-date regulations.
