Throughout your internship Brazil we’re here to support you. Like in any destination, you’ll need to keep in mind basic safety precautions that you must take in order to stay safe during your stay in Brazil. Some of these include being aware of your surroundings, avoiding petty crime hotspots, consulting your travel doctor prior to arrival, registering with your home country’s embassy or consulate, and remembering important emergency contacts.
Check with your home country’s embassy to confirm the requirements; We strongly recommend entering Brazil on a TOURIST VISA. Acquiring a volunteer visa can be challenging due to the bureaucratic complexities in Brazil. Only if you plan to stay longer than the allowed duration of a tourist visa should you consider pursuing a volunteer visa. In such cases, we can assist you with the necessary procedures
