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.
