Opinion on Brazil is divided, though not dramatically: ratings run from level 2 to level 3. Two of the twelve take the stricter view, and the remaining ten see no cause for it. A one-level split of this kind usually reflects differing thresholds between governments rather than a dispute about the facts.
Currency varies between sources. New Zealand's is the oldest assessment of Brazil on file, last revised in November 2024, while the rest have been reviewed more recently.
The warnings for Brazil are not uniform across the country. 14 distinct areas are singled out by at least one government. Among them: International land borders and Brasilia’s Satellite cities. At least one of these carries the highest possible rating, meaning a government advising against all travel there while rating the rest of the country lower.
The level 3 rating from South Korea and Taiwan carries practical weight even if your own government is more relaxed — insurers commonly price against, or exclude, travel contrary to official advice, so the rating that matters most is the one issued for your passport.
Derived from 12 government assessments for Brazil, most recently reviewed in October 2026.
