Can you bring a drone to Brazil?

• Drones

  depends on specifics

  Drones over 250g must be registered with Brazil's civil aviation authority (ANAC) through the SISANT system, which requires a Brazilian CPF or CNPJ taxpayer number — the real obstacle for tourists, who would need to obtain a CPF from a Brazilian consulate beforehand or have a Brazilian resident register the drone on their behalf. Drones of 250g or under don't need registration for recreational use, but must still follow altitude, visual-line-of-sight and people-distance rules.

  A direct fetch of ANAC's registration page was blocked by a CAPTCHA in this pass, so this is drawn from consistent secondary reporting rather than the primary page's own text — treat the CPF/CNPJ barrier as the well-corroborated headline fact, but re-verify against ANAC directly before treating exact figures as final.
