Overview
If you’re an Indian entrepreneur, professional, or company representative planning to attend business meetings, conferences, or explore investment opportunities in Brazil — you’ll need a Brazil Business Visa.
This visa allows short-term travel for official or commercial purposes, such as client visits, negotiations, trade exhibitions, or market research. However, it does not permit paid employment or long-term stays.
Brazil’s fast-growing economy and emerging industries make it an attractive destination for Indian businesses looking to expand globally.
