The National Health Supervision Bureau of Brazil issued technical guidelines on this announcement, saying that since the global health emergency of COVID-19 epidemic ended, Brazil no longer requires international passengers to show the vaccination certificate or negative test results of COVID-19, nor does it require entry gates and passenger transport operators to take epidemic prevention measures. At the same time, it is emphasized that all entry ports still need to closely monitor the latest epidemic prevention policies to cope with possible international health emergencies in the future, and maintain monitoring of confirmed and suspected cases.

Brazil is a country of immigrants. Immigrants come from all over the world, which has led to the concentration of various religious beliefs from both the East and the West. Among various religions, Catholicism is the largest religion.

When acquaintances meet, men hug each other and pat each other's backs to show affection. Between women, or when a woman meets a familiar man, she kisses the cheek to show affection. In social occasions such as gatherings or dinners, latecomers should bow to those present in turn. In Brazil, there is also a etiquette of shaking hands, which usually occurs when meeting for the first time with unfamiliar people. When meeting someone of higher status, older, host, lady, or others, they usually need to reach out their hand first. When Brazilians meet someone for the first time, they exchange business cards. Men should shake hands and greet everyone present when entering and leaving.

Brazilians adhere to the principle of women first. When visiting someone's home, the man first greets and greets the hostess. In public places, if a man smokes, he should first seek the opinion of the women around him.

Taboo: Brazilians advocate an orderly society and place great emphasis on their speech and behavior in public places, avoiding loud noises, crowded queues, littering, spitting, and smoking indiscriminately. In Brazil, purple represents sadness and misfortune, so it is not advisable to use purple as a gift, nor to give handkerchiefs or knives.
