Bureaucracy
It’s important to get up-to-date information on Brazil’s entry requirements and how they apply to you, whether you are coming to Brazil for work, study, leisure, breast implants, etc. If you do not plan in advance you may not have the proper travel credentials and will eventually find yourself in a spicy administrative pickle—or, as they say in Brazil, you will have a “cucumber” to resolve. Trust me, I could scrap together an entire Carnival float using all the red tape I’ve had to wade through this year.
