Rio de Janeiro Reports

[IncelSam86]

This is what the decree says in article 7:


I. Document proving laboratory tests (RT-PCR), for screening for infection by SARS-CoV-2, with a negative / non-reactive result, performed 72 hours prior to the moment of shipment; and..

Does this mean prior to starting my journey?

My flight goes from Manchester (UK) to Amsterdam (long overnight stopover) then to Rio.

In theory would I be ok with a test that was performed 71 hours before my flight leaves Manchester?

It's just a paper or digital form you fill out like other countries. Not sure what exactly it is because it's not December 30th yet. They may end up dropping the PCR test in the future. I think this decree, frankly, is going to get amended.

Yeah, the timing of this just feels "off".

I hope so, but many other countries did not. I am just worried if I can receive it soon enough. And need to know do pharmacies like CVS count Saturday and Sunday as the days included as their 3-4 days results.

[Nuupter]

What impossible? There are others countries (like Thailand) that required the 72 hours RT-PCR test and plenty of travellers got it before their flight without problems. Of course you must to use private clinics.

This is the USA, we have the most test in the world, we have the best testing in the world, but 72 hours is not guaranteed. Don't listen too much on the old senile Presidents bullshit talk. At least we don't hear from him no more.

I'm going to have to get one of these for my trip to Sao Paulo at the end of January.

The costs range is from £100-£150 for a private test in person where I live and results with 24-48 hours.

My flight to Brazil is at night time too, at a time when the clinics will be closed, so will have to do the 24 hour results test two days before I go.

So basically I won't know if I'm actually going until 24 hours before I go. I suffer with bad anxiety and this is going to kill me haha.

[Christian G]

Its an impossible situation. It can take 3-5 days for you to get results, there is no way to bring a test that is only 72 hours old!! If someone arrives with a test that is 5 days old, I wonder if they will send you back?

Are you sure you can't have resuts in 72 hours. In France you get them in maximum 72 hours, often in 24 hours, but one thing Brasil about 50 000 infected people / day. And Christmas and New year in the future so I think mid January it will be worst take care.

I would like to go in Rio but now I prefer waiting.

That is a bummer that a PCR test is needed, have not taken the test before. I might be confused or don't understand what I'm reading correctly, Did it say people are permitted to enter for vacation or travels? And not resident or citizens of Brazil. The article also said at the end it was not enforced.

I am planning to go there in Jan and I'm a US citizen there for vacation and have no Brazilian resident or citizenship.

As mentioned earlier in this thread, 4 X4 is indeed open again.

- I'm sure 4 x 4 will get better in the coming weeks. The receptionist mentioned to me as I was paying my bill that more girls would be coming back next week. Unfortunately, I won't be around next week to see it but will be back again in February.

Good to know. Not saying it will amount to much (since I'll be coming next week during the holidays) but I'll give a report to see if it's any good then.

Is entry to Brazil allowed for sightseeing?

Just in case all of the brazilian newspapers are lying, here is an official link (took 40 sec of Googling):

I am have trip planned for Rio Jan 12th.

It takes 3 - 5 days to get the Results for a PCR Tests. It is not possible to ensure I get a test results back in time for I depart. (If you have to test 72 hours before departing).

I had a crazy line up of girls set up! One from the top escort site in Brazil too!
