  • Essential Information Wings Over Argentina, Chile & Brazil
    ESSENTIAL INFORMATION WINGS OVER ARGENTINA, CHILE & BRAZIL PASSPORT AND VISA INFORMATION Your passport needs to be valid for at least six (6) months after your journey and should have a minimum of three (3) blank visa pages for entry and exit stamps. Holders of U.S. and Canadian passports are not required to obtain a tourist visa for entry into Argentina, Chile or Brazil for stays of up to 90 days. Our partner VisaCentral offers easy, efficient U.S. passport and visa processing. Visit them online at visacentral.com/abercrombiekent or call 844 823 1224 and reference A&K’s account number 73001. Service fees apply. Minors Travelling to/Through Brazil Without One or Both Parents Brazilian law requires any minor who is a Brazilian citizen (even dual nationals who are both U.S. and Brazilian citizens) to have permission from each parent to travel within Brazil or exit the country. When the minor travels with only one parent or without either parent, he or she must have two original written authorization letters from each absent parent and carry a copy* of the child’s birth certificate or have an annotation in his/her Brazilian passport authorizing travel alone or with only one parent. While Brazilian law related to travel authorization does not explicitly apply to non-citizens of Brazil, Federal Police have, at times, delayed the travel of non-Brazilian minors who lack appropriate authorization from both parents. For this reason, we recommend that families of non-Brazilian minors travelling to/through Brazil without one or both parents compose two original written authorizations for each child travelling prior to departing the U.S., and ensure that the minor, or the minor’s traveling companion, carries the original or notarized copy* of the minor’s birth certificate.
