Do I need a visa to go to the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games?
On arrival in Brazil, you must present a passport that is valid for at least 6 months. If you have any other immigration queries, you should ask your travel agent or contact the nearest Brazilian Embassy or Consulate.
In general, on arrival in Brazil you should have:
• Proof that you have or have access to sufficient funds (if you’re bringing a credit card, we advise you to carry a statement to prove the limit).
• A return or onward ticket.
• Proof of accommodation booked for at least the first night.
• If you’re coming from a yellow-fever endemic zone in another South American country- a yellow fever vaccination card
• Prescriptions for any medicines which you are carrying
On entering Brazil, you should ensure your passport is stamped by the immigration authorities and retain a copy of your immigration landing card. These will be reviewed when departing Brazil, and if not presented, a fine may be applied.
