Essential
Information
Brazilian Portuguese is the official language.
A visa is a document granted by the Consular Representations of Brazil abroad that allows foreigners to enter and stay in the country.
To enter and stay in Brazil, the citizens of the United Kingdom and European Union countries are exempted from entry visas for Brazil and only need to present their passports. A visit visa can be granted for tourism, business, transit, artistic or sporting activities, and the stay may not exceed ninety days.
For more information about visas, check the or contact the nearest Brazilian Consulate.
Brazil’s electrical voltage varies between 110V and 220V depending on the location. Most Brazilian hotels provide for both voltages, while portable transformers can be found in a variety of specialized stores.
N-type sockets and three-pin plugs are used as standard in Brazil. For safety, sockets are recessed, so that power only connects and passes when plugs are fully inserted into the socket, preventing accidental contact with energized plugs.
To connect a direct international call, dial 00 + operator’s code* + country code + area code + telephone number. For direct or collect calls abroad, with the aid of bilingual operators, dial 0800 703 2111.
*Check at the hotel reception about operator codes enabled for international calls.
Brazil covers four different time zones. Brasília Time (BRT) is the national standard and corresponds to three hours behind GMT.
The climate is predominantly tropical, with a few variations of around 28ºC in the North and around 20ºC in the South.
Most bars and restaurants include a 10% service charge on your bill. When a tip is not included in the service charge, the usual rate is between 10% and 15 % of the bill amount.
