Good to know
Get your entry stamp. Check that the officer stamps your passport when you arrive. Without a stamp you can be fined when you leave. Overstaying means a fine for each extra day.
Have proof of your plans. Border officers can ask to see a ticket out of Brazil, where you're staying, and proof you can pay for your trip, such as recent bank statements.
Yellow fever vaccine recommended. Brazil doesn't ask for a vaccination certificate. Yellow fever vaccination is recommended if you're visiting forests or rural areas: get it at least 10 days before you go. Some countries you visit next may ask for proof.
Declare cash over US$10,000. If you carry more than US$10,000 in cash, or the same in other currencies, fill in the online customs declaration (e-DBV) and show it when you arrive.
