Travel to Brazil during Coronavirus

From sand to jungle to concrete, South America’s biggest country can be the perfect backdrop for any audiovisual project, as we explore in detail in our  Brazil location spotlight. It is precisely on account of its size that talking about the Covid-19 pandemic in general terms is not possible.  

Case numbers are non-uniformly shifting from pandemic to endemic rates across each Brazilian state, and state governments are easing their restrictions in different phases, which we’re tracking on our Covid-19 in Brazil page.

Some regions have reopened commerce and resumed social and sporting activities, under their own safety guidelines. 

Before making plans, those wishing to travel should first contact their local Brazilian Consulate or Embassy, for information on the documentation needed to apply for a temporary visa.

As of April 1, 2022, people entering Brazil, regardless of origin, do not need to present a negative Covid-19 test. Additionally, the Health Declaration form is no longer required.

There is no health insurance requirement. Entry by land or by sea is no longer restricted.

If you are interested in filming in a Brazilian location, we can help guide you with up-to-date information about  the Covid-19 situation in your chosen region and keep you informed on the current filming authorizations and permits.
