Brazil is currently included on the list of states designated under Section 38E (1) of the Health Act 1947.
All travellers from designated states are required to present proof of a relevant test result taken prior to arrival in Ireland. Arrivals from designated states who can show valid proof of vaccination, as defined in S.I. 135/2021, are required to complete 14-days of home quarantine at the address provided on their Passenger Locator Form. They have the possibility of an early exit from home quarantine with a negative PCR test result taken no earlier than 5 days after arrival.
Travel policy is kept under continuous consideration informed by the epidemiological situation and public health advice.
