Flying a drone in Brazil
Doable with prepBased on secondary sources, last reviewed 2026-06-12
Sub-250 g is trivial; 250 g and above is workable via a consulate-issued CPF plus free SISANT registration.
Can a tourist register?
Yes. Tourists can obtain a CPF (Brazilian taxpayer number) free at a Brazilian consulate or embassy before travel (days, not weeks). Sub-250 g: nothing to register.

Requires a CPF. DECEA SARPAS flight authorization and ANATEL radio homologation also formally apply. Portal: SISANT (free, valid 24 months).
