Ordinance 660/2021 of the Civil House, published on November 27th, establishes temporary restrictions for the entry of passengers in Brazil. The imposition of restrictions is a consequence of the new coronavirus variant, Ômicron. The ordinance has recommendations from Anvisa.

Flights from or through the Republic of South Africa, Republic of Botswana, Kingdom of Essuatini, Kingdom of Lesotho, Republic of Namibia or Republic of Zimbabwe to Brazil are temporarily prohibited.

In addition, foreign travelers who have been to these countries in the last 14 days are not allowed to travel to Brazil. However, cargo flights are authorized, as long as the current security protocols are observed.

Brazilians are not restricted from entering the country, but must comply with a 14-day quarantine in their destination city, if they have passed through any of the countries listed.

Travelers must complete the Traveler's Health Declaration (DSV) within 24 hours prior to departure to Brazil. In addition, everyone must have a negative RT-PCR test within 72 hours of shipment, or an antigen test within 24 hours of shipment. However, accompanied children under the age of 12 do not need to take the exam.

Foreigners who have passed through the listed countries can only enter if they have permanent residence, for a fixed or indefinite period, in Brazilian territory. They can also enter missions at the service of international organizations, as long as they are identified.

Foreign employee accredited to the Brazilian government can also enter, in addition to foreigners who are spouse, partner, child, parent or guardian of a Brazilian; or if admission is specifically authorized by the Brazilian government in view of the public interest or for humanitarian reasons; or still, holder of a National Migration Registry.
