Official wording
Effective May 11th 2026, the Brazilian Government has waived the requirement of visitor visas for citizens of China. This decision is valid until December 31st 2026 for Chinese travelers using a regular passport and for stays up to 30 days.
Aevamo’s reading
Decreto 9.199/2017, which regulates the Lei de Migração (Law 13.445/2017), creates the visitor-visa obligation: art. 164 permits entry only to valid-visa holders, residence-authorisation holders, or nationals covered by a visa-waiver communication; art. 20 fixes the stay; art. 25 sets the waiver competence; and art. 32 obliges the MRE to publish the exemption list, which is the QGRV. The QGRV reports the operative list created under that decree, so the decree is the instrument that creates the obligation and the QGRV is the instrument that enumerates who is exempt.
The MRE's official consular notice states that the visitor-visa requirement is waived for Chinese citizens holding ordinary passports for stays up to 30 days, effective 11 May 2026 and valid until 31 December 2026, so Chinese passport holders enter visa-free while the waiver stands.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
