To get started, what's the first thing you require to get inside a country? A visa, that's right! Apart from visa, keep in mind the custom rules and regulations, flight and hotel reservations, driver's license for traveling inside Brazil (see if it can be used to drive in and around Brazil), duty-free shopping, weather and climate, money exchange, etc.

All these things have to be taken into consideration for the trip. Hence, go through the following sections one by one.

✔ Brazil Visa Requirements

Brazil follows a reciprocal policy for issuing visas. It means that if you are a citizen of a country which demands a visa from a Brazilian citizen to enter your country, you'll have to get a visa as well to enter Brazil. There are certain countries that are exempt from this rule and can enter the country with only an ID card and can stay for about 90 days.

Since you are making plans of traveling to Brazil, it would be wise to learn if you require a visa, or are you a citizen of one those countries that falls under the exemption. The same details apply for kids, if you are traveling with family. Check for how many days the visa is valid and upon which, you can plan the trip accordingly.

✔ Vaccination for Travelers

The yellow fever vaccination is recommended before traveling to Brazil. If you are planning to travel to any of the affected areas, then the vaccination (yellow fever, diphtheria, tetanus, polio, typhoid, hepatitis A and B) is a must.

There are also health risks like malaria and dengue in the Amazon Basin. As far as kids are concerned, if they are between the ages of 3 months to 6 years, then they need to get a polio vaccination. It is important that you carry all the documents along as you may have to show them at the time of arrival.

✔ Communication in Brazil

While searching for Brazil travel information, remember that you need to be aware of the languages spoken in Brazil. Portuguese, as you may know, is the official language spoken in the country. Residents in Brazil also speak Nheengatu, English, and Spanish in most of the tourist spots.

Although there are other minority languages spoken, you should perhaps brush up on your Portuguese. Learning few phrases, words of greeting, and pronunciations won't be so bad. Also, carry a Portuguese to English (or whichever language you speak) dictionary for whenever in need.

✔ Best Time to Travel to Brazil

Since the country is huge, the temperatures vary from one region to another. Compared to the Northern Hemisphere (NH), Brazil looks something like this. Summer in NH is winter in Brazil, fall in NH is spring in Brazil, winter in NH is summer in Brazil, and spring in NH is fall in Brazil.
