Entry conditions - Covid-19
Attention! New rules: Requirements of proof of vaccination and Covid tests have been lifted for international travellers entering Brazil
The new rule has already entered into force! International travellers will no longer be required by Brazilian immigration authorities to present proof of vaccination against Covid-19 or negative test results for SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) infection.
The changes follow the line adopted by most countries, after the WHO decreed the end of the international emergency caused by the new coronavirus (Sars-CoV-2).
