ANVISA – International Registration of Yellow Fever Vaccination


If you travel from Brazil Paraguay requires you have Yellow Fever vaccination and proof in "international form".  This page records the process.  

Notes

  • Health Post doctor said I could drive to the airport to go to the ANVISA desk.  This applies for people in the Florianopolis area.  I assume anyone near a major airport could also find an ANVISA desk in their airport.
  • Went to airport – ANVISA office is near Policia Federal
  • Having pre registered  – Using my passport the employee there looked up my pre registration and used my Health Post vaccination card to finish the process – He printed out my International vaccination proof on the spot.

OverView of Process

  • Get vaccinated for Yellow Fever.  I did so at a Posto de Saude near where I stay in Brazil.

Renewing Brazil Tourist Visa In Country – February 2017

The most recent visa renewal was done under a new process.  They had me go to the airport Federal Police ( DPF ) and give them my passport with entry form and they renew on the spot with no other supporting material required.  Trump must have made a change in the USA that is similar as they say they always mirror the procedure that the USA puts Brazilians through.
