Travel to Brazil
Foreign travelers are allowed to enter Brazil by air for up to 90 days under a number of temporary visas, including for purposes of research, studies including academic extension courses, work, investment, family reunions, or sporting or artistic activities.
Requirements to enter
- Foreign nationals must present proof of valid health insurance that provides coverage during the period of their stay, unless they are students attending Brazilian institutions or Brazilian residents – from 2 October, this is no longer a requirement for entry
- All non-Brazilian nationals/residents must present a medical declaration that confirms they do not have COVID-19.
Land and sea borders remain closed to foreign travelers until at least 12 November.
These travel alerts are general in nature. Contact your airline or travel provider for information on the availability of flights.
Travel within Brazil
Restrictions vary between states across Brazil, and you should check local government websites for the latest before you visit. The COVID-19 situation in Brazil has been unstable since the start of the pandemic, and before you travel, check your government's travel advice.
Everyone must continue to follow protocols including wearing face masks, frequent hand washing and social distancing.
