International tourism was greatly affected by the covid-19 pandemic
Amid the restrictions in place due to the covid-19 pandemic, renewed with fears of a second wave of the disease, it has never been more difficult for Brazilians to travel abroad.
In fact, most of the major international destinations still don’t allow foreigners to enter.
The bad news is that there is no prediction of when this will change.
On the contrary, the most recent change is the announcement that Argentina will soon reopen its air and sea borders with neighboring countries.
BBC News Brazil lists below the current rules of the main destinations for Brazilian tourists abroad and to which countries the trip is authorized. Check out.
In the United States, which has the highest number of cases and killed by covid-19, restrictions on international tourists remain in effect.
About a month ago, the Donald Trump administration announced the lifting of the restriction on flights leaving from some countries, including Brazil. But, in practice, foreigners who were in Brazil for 14 days before entering the US are still prohibited from entering the US territory, unless they are citizens of the country, legal permanent residents (people with green card), direct relatives of US citizens and specific categories. Students are not among those exempt from the rules. See who can enter here.
The rule, therefore, does not prevent Brazilians from entering the US Therefore, there were reports of some attempting to enter through Mexico.
“The CDC (US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) statement and the DHS (US Department of Homeland Security) publication do not change who can enter the United States under the proclamation presidential, “says the US Embassy in Brazil in a note published in September.
At the same time, “the new measures implemented on September 14, 2020 will include the interruption of the health examination for those arriving from certain countries, including Brazil. The CDC continues to recommend that international travelers be quarantined for 14 days when traveling areas high risk ”, adds the note.

The Brazilian cannot travel to the European Union
European Union (except United Kingdom)
Brazil is not on the list of countries whose citizens can travel to the European Union. The rule applies to the 27 member countries of the economic bloc, including, therefore, the main tourist destinations for Brazilians in Europe, such as Portugal, Spain, France and Italy.
But there are exceptions: Brazilians who have dual European nationality or who are legal residents in these countries can travel to Europe. Passengers in transit and those traveling for the purpose of study can also enter. The same applies to “health and senior care professionals and health researchers.” Also exempt from the veto are “passengers traveling for compelling family reasons” and “highly qualified workers from third countries, if their work is economically necessary and cannot be postponed or carried out abroad.”
The United Kingdom, which left the European Union and completes its transition process in January next year, making the so-called “Brexit”, allows the entry of Brazilian tourists.
But before arriving in the country, each traveler, even in transit, must individually complete an online form.
Minors under the age of 18 can be included on the responsible parent form, provided they arrive and depart the UK together and stay at the same address in the country.
The form must be completed at least 48 hours prior to arrival in the UK.
The 14-day quarantine for those coming from Brazil is mandatory.
Despite this, according to the Brazilian Consulate in London, “some airlines do not allow Brazilian tourists to board for the UK. We suggest contacting the airline before purchasing the desired ticket.”
The borders of Argentina are closed to foreigners and non-residents. According to this Saturday (10/24) the country’s Tourism Minister, Matiías Lammens, the borders will be reopened to neighboring countries, including Brazil, starting in November.
According to him, entry will only be authorized for the moment by air (through the Ezeiza airport) and by sea (through the port of Buenos Aires), and not by land borders. Quarantine will not be required. It is believed that a coronavirus test will be performed upon the arrival of visitors, or they will be asked to bring a negative test.
The borders of Chile will be closed to foreigners and non-residents only until this Monday (10/26). For the moment, Chileans and foreigners residing in Chile who enter the country must comply with the mandatory 14-day quarantine.

Serbia allows tourists to travel to the country without mandatory testing or isolation, with the exception of those arriving from Croatia, Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Romania.
