Am I allowed to fly there?
Allowed with conditions
Flying is allowed, but with conditions you need to know before you travel.
Allowed, but every flight needs prior airspace authorisation from air navigation service DECEA via the SARPAS system – even with drones under 250 g.
Not required
The RBAC 100 rules do not apply to drones up to 250 g flown within line of sight up to 120 m, nor to purely recreational flights (model aircraft) up to 120 m. All other drones are registered with ANAC in the SISANT system; registration is valid for 24 months.
Your EU registration is not automatically valid here.
Not required
Third-party liability insurance is mandatory for flights covered by RBAC 100. The rules, and with them this requirement, do not apply to drones up to 250 g within line of sight up to 120 m or to purely recreational flights up to 120 m.
For tourists
Create a SARPAS account before your trip. Over protected areas and indigenous territories, clarify permission with the responsible authority in advance.

To do before you leave
The travel check is not legal advice and not official information – laws change and we cannot guarantee that everything is fully up to date. The aviation authority of your destination is authoritative. Please also check the official source before you travel.
