Minors travelling to Brazil

There are no authorization requirements for children below the age of 18 to travel to Brazil.

However, there are currently no direct flights between Brazil and Denmark, or between Brazil and Lithuania. Therefore, you must contact the Embassy of the country where the child will change flights about whether that country requires authorization for children to travel.

Minors travelling from Brazil

Brazilian citizens below the age of 18 can only travel to another country, out of Brazil, when they travel together with their legal guardians. This also applies to Brazilian citizens who are also a citizen of another country, including the country that they will travel to.

Brazilian citizens below the age of 18 who will travel alone, with another person, or with only one legal guardian must be authorized to do so by the legal guardians who will not travel with them.

The Brazilian Federal Police may also require such authorization when the minor is not yet a Brazilian citizen, but whose parent is a Brazilian citizen.

All children below the age of 16, regardless of nationality, can only travel in Brazil in the company of another adult person (cousins, friends), who do not fall in the circumstances above, or alone, when authorized by their legal guardians.
