Your trip plan
A step-by-step plan for Sao Paulo — built backwards from the goal: arrive prepared, do the expo well, get back. Event dates: June 16, 2026 – June 18, 2026.
Now
Visa & entry
If you need a visa, start the process well before June 16, 2026 — processing can take several weeks.
Many nationalities enter Brazil visa-free for short stays (around 90 days), while some — including US, Canadian and Australian citizens — now need an e-Visa. Check the latest rules for your passport before travelling.
General guidance only — always confirm requirements with the official embassy/consulate for your nationality.
