Since May 21, there are no longer any health restrictions related to Covid-19 for travelers entering Brazil. With the end of the health emergency announced by the World Health Organization (WHO), Anvisa no longer requires proof of vaccination or testing for entry into the country.
The health restrictions for boarding, disembarking, and transporting travelers on cruise ships were revoked by the Agency on May 15. The measures for airports and aircraft became invalid on May 21.
The changes align with the approach taken by most countries. The United States, for example, the only country in North America that still required vaccination, lifted restrictions for travelers entering on May 12. Most European countries lifted entry restrictions back in 2022, including the United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal, and Germany.

Rules for cruise ships
For cruise ships, it remains mandatory to notify suspected and confirmed cases and isolate sick individuals on board. Although Anvisa no longer requires proof of vaccination or Covid-19 testing, shipping companies may impose their own boarding requirements. Check with the company before traveling!
