In the spirit of leaving the pandemic in memorythere are already many countries that have lifted much of the coronavirus-related entry requirements.
However, there are still destinations that require some documents related to the pandemic, such as vaccination certificate, pre-travel test, random on-site test or affidavits.
But it is clear that the trend is to relax.
Brazil and Uruguay are two destinations that Argentines always tempt for a spring break or to enjoy summer vacations. And, each with its own particularities, its decisions regarding foreign travelers have similarities. By April they had already eliminated the requirement for negative tests (PCR or antigens) for fully vaccinated travelers.
But let’s see on a case-by-case basis what those who will travel to these countries in the coming weeks should take into account, with the usual clarification (to which the pandemic has accustomed us): all measures can change, so it is always important to check the information at embassies or consulates in the days closest to the trip.
What Brazil asks of travelers
Any traveler who wants to enter the country of more than seven thousand kilometers of beaches must take the following into account.
- On September 12, a new resolution published in Brazil’s Official Gazette states that travelers can now choose to submit proof of vaccination or a negative test of the virus to enter the country. The resolution was signed by the ministers of the Civil House (Cabinet), Justice, Health and Infrastructure. The measure follows the recommendation of the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa).
- Submit proof of vaccination in paper or electronic format or submit evidence of a Covid-19 test with a negative or undetectable result, such as an antigen test or laboratory RT-PCR performed one day before the shipping time.
The new rules are already in place. According to Anvisa, the measure simplifies the currently existing controls, as it allows any traveler to comply with any of the necessary requirements.
“The recommendation is reiterated by a position from the World Health Organization, which stresses that testing and quarantine policies should be reviewed regularly to ensure they are suspended when they are no longer needed,” they say in the agency.
The requirements to enter Uruguay
Although the high dollar and the economic crisis keep many Argentines away from the destinations of Uruguay, for those who are thinking of traveling, here are the requirements to enter:
- Send the complete scheme vaccination, in the last 9 months before admission.
- Those who do not have full vaccination They must submit a negative PCR or antigen test before the start of the trip. Children under the age of 6 are exempt.
- Health cover
- Foreigners who have already had the COVID-19 disease in the last 90 days before boarding or arriving in the country must submit a positive test (PCR or antigens), carried out between a maximum of 90 (ninety) days and up to 10 (ten) days before embarkation or arrival in the country. .
