Since March 2020, travel restrictions apply to foreign nationals entering Brazil.  At present, Ordinance No. 255, valid until 21 June 2020, provides for several exceptions in addition to that for  born and naturalised Brazilians.

Irrespective of the point of departure, the following foreign nationals are exempt:

• professionals in a mission at the service of an international organisation, as long as duly identified;
• passengers in international transit, as long as they do not leave the international area of the airport and the country of destination admits their entry;
• foreign employees accredited to the Brazilian Government;
• foreign nationals whose entry is specifically authorised by the Brazilian Government in the public interest or for humanitarian reasons.
