Travelling to Brazil Under 18

Joe WMJ

I am travelling from Spain to Brazil (UK Citizen who will stay in Spain 15 days before going to Brazil) alone and under 18 this July, and will meet and stay with a Brazilian national and citizen in Rio De Janeiro.

What documents will they ask for?

I already know about the Health Declaration, Proof of funds, notarised authorisation form from both parents to exit (already have it) as well as obviously a passport.

According to my research online, there does not appear to be any need for me to apply for a VISA as British nationals can enter without a VISA as a tourist.

Is a letter of invitation needed since I am staying  at a private residence?

Thanks.

The letter will help. Due to a tourist visa, PF will require a confirmation from the hotel, or they call the person.
With the letter, they may not call. Have person's name address and phone #.

I would honestly be surprised if they even check all of those details at immigration control. Although I now live in Brazil, in all the years that I have travelled here, I have not once been asked for proof of funds, hotel reservation, authorisation etc. (although it certainly won't hurt to have it).
You are right in saying that you don't need to apply for a visa. UK citizens can enter for a period of 90 days without obtaining a tourist visa first.
Enjoy your stay!

Thanks for the reply! And yes, it's more the fact that I am a minor travelling alone into Brazil. It's possible that they may ask me for more documents for this reason. Well, i'll get everything they could ask me for, better safe than sorry!

Good plan.

In dealing with Brazilian officialdom, it's generally better to have documents and not need them, than to need them and not have them.   :top:

Will you be 18 in July?
Just thinking.
British nationals under 18 entering or transiting through Brazil without their parents or legal guardian, or traveling with one parent only, are advised to bring a letter of authorization to travel from any parent(s) not traveling.

Hi,

I?m staying a month in Brazil, between Mid July and Mid August, and I turn 18 in September. I already have a form notarized in the UK with my mother?s signature and have an appointment booked at a notary public in Spain for my fathers signature, as he lives there.

I am travelling alone, neither of my parents or guardians are travelling as I am meeting and staying with someone I know in Brazil, who is a resident :)

You are set. Good luck.

Enjoy! I have to ask though, what program is sending people here during a pandemic out of curiosity?

Should have no problem going, I will travel to Spain first, and then brazil. Spoke to all the consulates and airlines who have said all I need is the health declaration and negative PCR test to enter the country, as inbound Brazil flights have no restrictions
