Do I need permits to film in Brazil?
Yes, filming permits are required for most professional video production in Brazil. The project requires all necessary permits which must be obtained from city authorities and regional bodies and heritage sites and locations that need special permits. The Brazilian company Fixers in Brazil takes care of all permit requests and handles official government interactions and follows all rules which govern film production in Brazil. The permit process duration spans between two weeks and four weeks depending on the location and the scope of production operations.
What are the best filming locations in Brazil?
Brazil offers diverse filming locations including Rio de Janeiro's iconic landmarks and distinct bairros, São Paulo's historic Paulista district and waterfront promenades, Minas Gerais's colonial architecture and coffee country, the northeast's sun-drenched Atlantic beaches, Recife's colonial architecture and reefs, and Chapada Diamantina's dramatic tablelands. Each location offers unique visual appeal and cultural significance.
How long does it take to get film permits in Brazil?
The processing time for film permits usually requires 2 to 4 weeks for typical production needs. The completion time for complex shoots which include heritage sites and government buildings and protected locations will take between 4 to 6 weeks. The emergency permit process requires 1–2 weeks for completion but customers must pay extra fees for this service.
Can international productions bring their own equipment to Brazil?
International productions can bring equipment to Brazil by following customs procedures and obtaining temporary import permits.

The Brazilian company Fixers offers professional equipment rental services and assists customers with customs clearance procedures when they want to import their own equipment into the country.
