Brazil remains a high-risk country when it comes to crime. Caution and vigilance are recommended in all circumstances. Here are some key points about security and safety measures to consider when travelling to Brazil: avoid poorly lit remote areas at night, secure important documents, limit mobile phone use in public, and refrain from wearing valuable items such as jewels.
Please read the travel advice issued by the FPS Foreign Affairs, available in French and Dutch.
We strongly advise all participants of the mission to register their trip to Brazil on the TravellersOnline website. This will make it easier for the FPS Foreign Affairs to inform you, support you and ensure your safety in case of crisis or emergency event abroad. It is also recommended to take a travel insurance that covers medical repatriation.
