If you're a Brazilian traveler planning a trip to this magical city, understanding the visa requirements is essential.

- Completed visa application form
- Passport-sized photo (recent, with a white background)

Applications must be submitted in person or via an authorized visa agency at the Chinese Embassy in Brasília or the Consulate General in São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro.

Once submitted, track your application status online or via the consulate.
