Brazil visa checklist
Use this Brazil visa checklist to organize the documents before the final upload, appointment, or print step. It is here to cut down on last-minute guesswork, not to promise approval.
IDfot currently maps 3 photo pages here, including 413×531 px, 431×531 px, and 2×2 in. The final document pack can still change with nationality, place of filing, and the authority or portal handling the case.

Need a cover letter?
If your visa application for Brazil needs a short note about the trip purpose, itinerary, funding, or reasons to return, start a draft in the generator.
Draft, then review
Add the key facts, then edit the wording so it matches your documents.
Useful for tourist, business, and private visits. Compare the final wording with the embassy, visa center, or official portal instructions.
Purpose, destination, travel dates, cities, and accommodation details.
Employment status, employer or occupation, personal funds, or sponsor support.
Home ties, obligations after travel, and any extra supporting notes.
What can vary
These are the main differences already visible across the linked photo pages.
- The current catalog includes more than one photo size for this case, including 413×531 px, 431×531 px, and 2×2 in. Use the photo page that matches the portal, visa center, or submission path you actually use.
- Some linked photo pages are clearly marked as online or e-visa variants, so file size, pixel dimensions, and upload formatting can matter just as much as print composition.
- There are already portal- or service-specific variants for vfsglobal. If your appointment letter or provider page names one of them, use that variant instead of the generic version.
- Some photo variants are tied to applications submitted from United States. The supporting-document pack can also change when you apply outside your home country.
- Nationality, country of submission, visa-center practice, and current authority updates can still change the final list. Treat this checklist as a starting point, not as a guarantee.

Open photo pageCommon preparation mistakes
- Treating a preparation checklist as if it replaces the current embassy, consulate, or visa center instructions.
- Collecting general travel evidence but leaving visa-specific category or submission-country documents until the last minute.
- Using a near-match photo page because the size looks close, even though the actual portal or provider path is different.
- Ignoring file-format, scan, or upload limits after the paperwork already looks complete.
- Assuming one old translation, bank statement, or booking still matches the timeline on a new application.
- Skipping a comparison step when IDfot already shows multiple related photo variants for this flow, including 413×531 px, 431×531 px, and 2×2 in.

What should I follow if this checklist and the authority page conflict?
The embassy, consulate, visa center, or official portal should override this page whenever it is more current or more specific.
Why does IDfot show multiple Brazil visa photo pages?
Because the source catalog already contains different sizes, upload variants, portal paths, or submission contexts. The checklist stays shared, but the photo page still has to match the submission path.
What if I am applying from a different country than the one shown on a photo variant?
No. Submission-country rules can affect both documents and photo format. Use this page as the base checklist, then confirm the local filing instructions for the country where you will actually submit.
