Travel Insurance for Brazil

There isn’t a reciprocal healthcare agreement between the UK and Brazil, so having travel insurance is vital.

While foreign nationals are entitled to emergency medical treatment in Brazil’s public hospitals, the cost of healthcare varies. Without proper travel insurance, you could run the risk of paying out for the cost of medical assistance.

Brazil’s private hospitals won’t accept foreign nationals for treatment without sufficient funds or proper travel insurance, so travelling to Brazil without travel insurance isn’t worth risking.

With travel insurance for Brazil, you’ll have 24 hour medical emergency support, where we’ll help identify the best place for you to receive care.

To make sure it’s safe to go to Brazil, you need to keep up-to-date with the FCDO’s travel advice before you set off and while you’re on your travels.

If the government advise against all but essential travel to Brazil, and you decide to go on holiday against their travel advice, your policy would become invalid and would no longer cover you if you needed to make a claim.

Most holidays to Brazil are problem free.

But if you’re worried about travelling to Brazil because of natural disasters or terrorism, then having the right travel insurance can make sure your holiday is protected.

If the area you’re travelling to experiences an earthquake, fire, flood, or hurricane that leads to the Government issuing advice against travelling there, then you’ll be covered to cancel with all of our policies as standard. Updated information for travelling to Brazil can be found on the FCDO website.

To be covered, you need to have received all doses of the COVID vaccine that you’ve been offered, including any booster jabs.

You can also be covered if you can’t have the vaccine due to a medical exemption.

If you have refused any doses of the COVID vaccine or any booster jab, then you won’t be covered for COVID related claims.
