Visa waiver agreements with Brasil

The European Council concluded two agreements between the EU and Brazil which allow their citizens to travel to the other territory without a visa for stays of up to three months during a six-month period. One agreement concerns holders of ordinary passports (13712/10), while the other concerns holders of diplomatic, service or official passports (13708/10).

The two agreements mark the end of negotiations started in April 2008. They do not replace, but supplement existing bilateral agreements between several EU member states and Brazil. The United Kingdom and Ireland are not bound by the agreements. For citizens from these two countries, the respective bilateral agreements continue to apply.

Now, hopefully the US is next as the visa requirements between the US and Brasil are non sense.
