For who is traveling from the United States, here’s what you need to know:

• Visa Requirements:
• Starting April 10, 2025, U.S. citizens will need a visa to enter Brazil.
  • The visa is electronic and can be requested through the official e-visa website for Brazil.
  • Processing time averages up to two weeks, so we recommend starting the application process early.

• Airport:
• The main airport in Florianópolis is Hercílio Luz International Airport (FLN).

• Airlines:
• We recommend the following airlines for flights to Brazil:
  • United Airlines, Delta, and American Airlines: These typically connect through São Paulo (GRU) or Rio de Janeiro (GIG) before arriving in Florianópolis.
  • Copa Airlines: Offers an option with a layover in Panama City (PTY) and may fly directly to Florianópolis.

• Getting Around:
• Once in Florianópolis, here are your best transportation options:
  • Ride-sharing services like Uber or 99
  • Taxis
  • Car rental: You can rent a car at the airport and drive in Brazil with a valid U.S. driver’s license. However, keep in mind that traffic can be a bit confusing.

We hope this makes planning your trip easier, and we can’t wait to see you in Brasil!
