Information about any required documentation to enter another country should be checked with the Embassy or consulate of the country in Brazil.

The Embassy or Consulate of the country concerned shall inform on visa requirements and procedures to get it, according to the reason for travel. A tourist trip may be exempt from visa; in general, a visit for work purposes implies a corresponding visa request. Proof of vaccination may also be required.

Additionally, prior consultation to the section Alert to the Traveler, of the Consular Portal, is recommended. The section is intended to provide an overview of information about each country to Brazilians aiming to travel abroad.

It is also recommended that the traveler take note, before going, of contact information such as phone numbers (including the emergency consular number), email and address of the Brazilian Consulate or Embassy responsible for the region which he/she will visit.

It is also important to make copies of documents (such as passports and ID cards), in case it is necessary to make a new passport abroad, due to loss or theft.

It is equally recommended that complete information on the itinerary, hotels and possible contact numbers be given to a family member or friend.
