Travel Note
U.S. passport holders are currently required to obtain a tourist visa prior to travel. The application is completed online through Brazil’s official e-Visa platform: https://brazil.vfsevisa.com We strongly recommend applying well in advance of the wedding to allow plenty of processing time. The process is straightforward and completed entirely online, and once approved, your e-Visa will be sent electronically. The tourist visa is valid for up to 10 years, so you will have plenty of flexibility for your travel dates. Please also ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned arrival date.
Flight
Travel We are so excited to celebrate our wedding in Maringá, Paraná, Brazil — a place that is incredibly special to us and full of beauty, culture, and heart. For our guests traveling from the United States (or elsewhere), your final destination airport is: Maringá Regional Airport (MGF) 📍 Maringá, Paraná, Brazil We highly recommend flying into São Paulo (GRU – Guarulhos International Airport) first, as it offers the most international flight options and typically the best pricing. From São Paulo, you can take a short domestic flight (about 1 hour) directly to Maringá. While Rio de Janeiro is also an option, São Paulo is usually the smoothest and most convenient connection point. We recommend booking flights early, as domestic Brazilian routes can fill up quickly. Once you arrive in Maringá, everything is conveniently located and easy to access by Uber or taxi we can also arrange a reliable shuttle service for your convenience. We cannot wait to welcome you to Brazil and celebrate together in such a meaningful place 🤍
