Since May 21, There Are No More Covid-19 Related Restrictions for Travelers Entering Brazil

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.

Most European countries lifted entry restrictions back in 2022, including the United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal, and Germany.
