J hi ly is the only month i haven’t been to Brazil, i have avoided it because 1) it has always been the month when schools were closed and families took vacations and 2) it is the middle of Brazil’s winter! but that is variable you can have nice warm days but you can get a cold front rolling in(still it is usually above 60) some of the posters on here may be better able to address this! i was there one year in the middle of August and had Great weather!

Zackbr1952 Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 I have a trip booked for November which I have changed twice in the past year and a half. Living in Canada, the problem is there are no direct flights, Air Canada has suspended , currently, the schedule returns in July. I normally fly United through Houston. Going to Brasil via Houston is not a problem but foreign nationals can still not transit USA from Brasil as far as I know. Quote

Correct. Can transit thru Panama, use the drop down menu. Flight connections may be wonky and make camping out in international transit area intolerable. Need Yellow Fever vaxx certification to leave the area. Not sure what is required to leave the transit area as far as COVID restrictions ... check by changing that part of the menu to entry, not transit. https://www.copaair.com/en/web/ca/travel-requirements Quote
Members Riobard Posted May 14, 2021 Members Posted May 14, 2021 Here it is: can enter Panama under these conditions, along with YF vaxx, if stranded in international transit waiting for a delayed connection. Note that the CoV test must be within 48 hours of arrival, in contrast to Canada’s requirement: within 72 hours of Brazil departure. Overall, a risky option for the inconvenience of possible quarantine order, but if you are a trooper willing to hang out airside, especially if not YF vaxxed ... Gonna wait until flights resume Canada/Brazil one day. Quote

Tomcal Posted May 16, 2021 Author Posted May 16, 2021 This is where it is good do you have friends in high places!! i took my Corona CPR test Friday at the clinic in Copa, and they assured me i would have the results so i could fly back to the states Sunday night! at 11:30am on Saturday morning No results in my email. one reason i picked this clinic is because of its reputation and its profile says it is open 24/7 7 days a week! when i called there i got a voice recorder, so i decided to take a uber and get my results rather then depending on email, i got there at at 2:00 and they are closed! i wasn’t panicking yet as i wasn’t leaving Rio for SP until 3:00pm Sunday but that was just 24 hours away! i tried every number i had for them including a fax but no one responded! Now it is this morning and i drive their again and same result! So i did something i rarely do and called my friend of 20 years Luis, wgmho was the first guy i met in Rio 20 years ago! he was the former BF of Junior at Pointe and most importantly a federal district attorney for the state of Rio de janeiro! Long story short... it took Luis 5 minutes to have my paperwork emailed to me! We had just gone out to a amazing restaurant in Leme two nights ago before all this happened! So i am flying to SP and going to stop in at Lagoa for 2 hours before catching my flight home! As a side note i went to Pointe last night for 2 hours before heading out to dinner with friends and while there were only about a dozen guys there, there was a new guy that was absolutely stunning! we talked for only about 10 minutes before i had to say “let’s go to a room”!! he has a “Gleem Smile”’ nice toned body and a really nice guy with Zero attitude! Afterwards we exchanged instagram numbers and i am definitely seeing him next trip’. Just goes to show you that a Slow night can still be amazing!! bangdom, reader and msclelovr 3 Quote
floridarob Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 SO everyone knows....going to the USA only requires an Antigen test. Can book an appointment with this drug store chain (and others). 120 reis, results and paperwork while you wait, approx 20 mins. https://www.drogaraia.com.br/agendamento/covid19 Axiom2020, SolaceSoul and Tomcal 2 1 Quote
Zackbr1952 Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 As far as I know this proclamation is still in effect but I could be wrong! The entry into the United States, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, of noncitizens who were physically present within the Federative Republic of Brazil during the 14-day period preceding their entry or attempted entry into the United States, is hereby suspended Anyway, as Tom has verified, emphatically no less, the boys are not going away!
