Travel insurance for Brazil
Not required. No official source we have checked requires travel insurance to visit Brazil, and none publishes a minimum coverage amount for visitors.
Some visa services claim insurance is mandatory for Brazil and charge you for a policy. We found no official rule behind those claims, so we will not present it as one. Insurance may still be a sensible choice for your trip, but for Brazil it is your choice, not an entry rule. We watch for new mandates daily, and this page will say so if one appears.
