📖 Travel, Visa & Recovery Guide for Brazil ▾
🧳 Travel Tips for Brazil
Visa Requirements
Many EU citizens enter visa-free for up to 90 days. US, Canadian, and Australian citizens require an e-visa (apply online in advance). Always confirm current rules with a Brazilian consulate before booking.
Best Time to Visit
April-June and August-October offer mild, dry weather—ideal for recovery. December-February is hot and humid (peak tourist season, higher prices).
Getting Around São Paulo
Guarulhos (GRU) is the main international airport. Top hospitals cluster around the Paraíso and Bela Vista districts. Use metered taxis or ride-hailing apps (Uber, 99) rather than street cabs.
Currency & Payments
Brazilian Real (BRL). Private hospitals accept international credit cards (Visa/Mastercard). Confirm quotes in USD or EUR to avoid exchange surprises.
Language
Portuguese is the official language. Leading hospitals have English- and Spanish-speaking international patient coordinators—request one when you inquire.
Post-Op Recovery
Plastic surgery: 7-14 day stay recommended before flying. Cardiac/orthopedic: 5-10 days hospital plus hotel recovery. Many clinics coordinate recovery hotels with nurse visits.
💼 Insurance & Payment
Most international patients pay out of pocket or through medical-tourism packages. Some Brazilian private hospitals coordinate with international insurers—confirm direct-billing options before booking. US Medicare does NOT cover care abroad.
