Brazil is best known for medical treatments like cardiac surgery, dental surgeries, neurosurgeries, weight loss surgeries, hair transplant, fertility treatment, skin treatment, and cosmetic surgeries. Let us know the procedure for entering Brazil to get healthcare services.

A medical visa is used to enable people to travel for medical treatment. However, there is a temporary visa issued to international patients in Brazil, which should be valid to enter the country for medical care. This visa allows the patient to stay for 90 days but it can be extended for another 90 days. The processing time is usually 5-7 working days. The visa is valid for 2 years.
