Entering "Brazil": what you need
No titer test is required, regardless of the pet's country of origin. Brazil (MAPA/Vigiagro) admits pets with an International Veterinary Certificate (CVI) or a reusable transit "passport" — both issued by the origin country's own official veterinary authority on Brazil's current form (mandatory since September 2025). A microchip is only mandatory for the reusable passport, not for a one-off CVI.
Vaccinations
Rabies vaccination is required for animals over 90 days old. For a first-time (primary) vaccination, departure from the origin country is only authorized 21 days after the shot; animals under 90 days can enter unvaccinated if the origin country's veterinary authority certifies on the CVI their age and that there hasn't been a rabies case on their premises in the last 90 days.
Rabies titer test
Not required for entry into Brazil.
Documents
A Certificado Veterinário Internacional (CVI), issued by the origin country's own official veterinary authority (not a Brazilian consulate) on Brazil's current form. The clinical exam must be done no more than 10 days, and broad-spectrum internal/external deworming no more than 15 days, before the CVI is issued. How long the CVI stays valid before arrival in Brazil depends on the country of origin — check with Brazil's veterinary authority or your airline.
Entry notes
No quarantine. MAPA/Vigiagro checks documents on arrival; animals previously diagnosed with leishmaniasis can be denied entry.

Never give your pet a sedative or sleep medication before a flight without a veterinarian's prescription — pressure changes at altitude can make it fatal.
