Brazil’s Flávio Bolsonaro and family will get US visas after election loss, State Department says

A State Department official said the visas will allow entry as Bolsonaro faces corruption, money laundering and tax evasion investigations in Brazil.

  • A State Department official confirmed on Tuesday that the United States will issue visas to Flavio Bolsonaro and his family, allowing 'them entry into the United States' following his weekend election loss.
  • Lula defeated Bolsonaro by a margin of nearly 4% on Oct 25, 2026, amid ongoing investigations into allegations of corruption, money laundering, and currency evasion by the Brazilian Supreme Court.
  • Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre ordered Bolsonaro to surrender his passports within 24 hours on Monday, while his brother Eduardo Bolsonaro was convicted in June of illegally lobbying the Trump administration.
  • The Argentine government stated it has 'no record of Flavio Bolsonaro entering' the country, while Bolsonaro denied intending to leave, stating in an Instagram video he will 'defend myself from this aberration.'
  • His term expires Jan 31, 2027, which will cause him to lose special jurisdiction at the Supreme Court, potentially exposing him to further legal challenges regarding allegations involving Banco Master.
