Brazil

Exercise a high degree of caution in Brazil at all times

Be alert to drink spiking and methanol poisoning – only consume drinks from trusted sources, avoid accepting drinks from strangers, and watch your drink being poured

Arrange your Brazilian visa before departure – do not rely on obtaining one at the airport or border

Check official entry and exit requirements shortly before travel, as conditions can change at short notice

Monitor local safety advice and avoid isolated areas, especially at night
