Visa requirements for Brazil
Do you need a visa for Brazil?
Choose the passport you will travel on and we will show the entry requirement recorded for each destination — visa free, visa on arrival, e-visa, travel authorisation or a visa applied for in advance.
Source and date: entry requirements are taken from the Passport Index open dataset, snapshot dated 12 January 2025. Rules published after that date will not be reflected here.
Please read: This is general guidance, not immigration advice. MEGA is not a government authority and does not issue, guarantee or influence visas or entry decisions. Entry rules change without notice and depend on your nationality, purpose of travel, passport validity, previous travel and the officer on duty. Always confirm the current requirement with the destination's embassy, consulate or official immigration portal before you travel. MEGA accepts no liability for reliance on the information shown here or for any refusal of entry, denied boarding, cost or loss arising from it.
Official checks: IATA Travel Centre and the destination's own embassy, consulate or immigration portal are the authorities on entry.
Languages spoken in Brazil
The official language is Portuguese.
If language matters to your trip — a medical appointment, a signing, a family member travelling alone — tell us when you enquire. We brief the handling agent and, on medical flights, confirm the language the receiving hospital's admitting team works in before departure.

Hospitals and medical care in Brazil
We do not publish a hospital list for Brazil yet, because we would rather leave it out than get it wrong. Your insurer's assistance line, or your embassy, will name the facility they work with locally.
In an emergency call the local emergency number. If a patient needs to be moved between countries, our medical team arranges bed-to-bed transfer with an ICU-capable aircraft and a doctor-led escort — the receiving hospital is confirmed before we depart.

Distances to the city centre are approximate road distances measured from the airport, and drive times are planning estimates only — actual transfer times depend on traffic, your exact address and the time of day.
Smaller airfields and strips without an IATA code (652)
Planning flights to Brazil
Brazil is the largest country in South America and covers almost half of the continent. Distances inside the country are long: flying from São Paulo to Manaus takes about as long as flying from London to Moscow. That means the airport you choose, and how you connect onward, matters more than in smaller countries. Most international visitors arrive through São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro, then continue on domestic flights to the rest of the country.
Main airports in Brazil
São Paulo/Guarulhos International (GRU / SBGR) is Brazil's main international gateway, with long-haul flights to Europe, North America, the Middle East and Africa. Congonhas (CGH / SBSP) sits inside the city and handles busy domestic routes such as the shuttle to Rio. Campo de Marte (SBMT) is a general aviation airport close to the city centre and is widely used by business aviation and helicopters. São Paulo is the country's business capital, and the São Paulo city guide lists its airports in detail.
Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro/Galeão International (GIG / SBGL) is the city's long-haul airport. Santos Dumont (SDU / SBRJ), on the bay near the centre, handles domestic flights. Jacarepaguá (SBJR) in the west of the city is used by general aviation and helicopters. See the Rio de Janeiro city guide for more.
Brasília and other cities
Brasília International (BSB / SBBR) serves the federal capital and is a major domestic hub. Other important airports include Belo Horizonte Confins (CNF), Salvador (SSA), Recife (REC), Fortaleza (FOR), Florianópolis (FLN), Curitiba (CWB), Porto Alegre (POA) and Manaus (MAO) for the Amazon. The Brasília, Belo Horizonte and Manaus guides cover these cities.
Time zones and seasons
Brazil has four official time zones. Most of the population, including São Paulo, Rio and Brasília, uses Brasília time (UTC−3). The Amazon region is an hour behind, Acre is two hours behind, and the Atlantic islands such as Fernando de Noronha are an hour ahead. Brazil has not used daylight saving time since 2019, so the offset stays the same all year. Seasons are reversed from the northern hemisphere: summer runs from December to March. Carnival, usually in February or early March, and the year-end holidays are the busiest travel periods, especially for Rio, Salvador and the beach destinations.
Flying privately to Brazil
A private jet gives you direct access to cities and resorts that need a connection on the airlines, such as Trancoso and Porto Seguro, the Bahia coast or the Pantanal. Foreign-registered aircraft flying into Brazil need authorisation from the national civil aviation authority, ANAC, which the operating carrier arranges. Brazilian rules generally restrict foreign operators from carrying passengers on flights between two Brazilian cities, so domestic legs inside Brazil are usually flown by a Brazilian-registered operator. Planning this from the start avoids surprises once you have arrived.
From Europe, the shortest crossings run to the northeast, around Recife, Natal and Fortaleza. From the Gulf, a nonstop flight to São Paulo is only possible on the longest-range business jets with a suitable passenger load; otherwise the routing includes a fuel stop, often in Africa or on the Atlantic. Our aircraft guide compares aircraft range and cabin size.
Entry and documents
Entry rules for Brazil depend on your nationality and can change, so check the latest requirements with the Brazilian consulate or the official advice linked on this page before you travel. Every passenger needs a passport valid for the length of the stay. Some regions may ask for proof of yellow fever vaccination, especially if you are coming from or going to parts of the Amazon.

Entry rules, health and safety
Visa requirements, health precautions and security guidance for Brazil change more often than any page can honestly track, and they depend on your own nationality. We therefore publish no risk score of our own — read the current official advice instead, and tell us anything on your itinerary that affects the flight so we can plan around it.
Questions travellers ask
What languages are spoken in Brazil?
Brazil lists Portuguese as official. We do not publish a claim about how widely other languages are spoken there, so confirm with your handling agent or embassy if language matters to your trip.
What time is it in Brazil?
The airports we hold data for in Brazil sit in America/Sao_Paulo, America/Cuiaba — the country spans more than one zone, so check the specific airport. America/Sao_Paulo is currently UTC-03:00. There is no seasonal clock change, so the offset stays the same all year. The live clock and converter on this page use your browser's own time zone for comparison.
Which airports serve Brazil?
We hold data on 5,910 airports and airfields in Brazil, 348 of which carry an IATA code. The tables on this page list them with both their IATA and ICAO identifiers, grouped by the city they serve.
What currency is used in Brazil?
The Brazilian real (BRL). The converter on this page shows an indicative mid-market rate from your currency; banks and cards apply their own spread.
What plugs and voltage are used in Brazil?
Type C, N sockets at 127 / 220 V, 60 Hz. Most modern laptop and phone chargers handle the voltage automatically; older appliances may need a transformer rather than just a plug adapter.
Can you arrange a private jet to Brazil?
Yes. We arrange private jet charter, ICU-equipped medical flights and full airliner charter into and out of Brazil. Which airport makes sense depends on runway length, operating hours, customs availability and where you are actually going, and we confirm all of that before quoting rather than after.
What is the main international airport in Brazil?
São Paulo/Guarulhos International (GRU) is Brazil's main international gateway. Rio de Janeiro/Galeão (GIG) and Brasília (BSB) are also important for international and domestic connections.
How many time zones does Brazil have?
Brazil has four official time zones. São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Brasília use Brasília time, three hours behind UTC, and Brazil does not currently use daylight saving time.
