    Mercosur citizens may enter with a national identity card; most EU, UK, Japanese and Israeli passport holders receive a 90-day business/tourism entry stamp on arrival.

    Brazil recognises ATA Carnets for temporary admission of exhibition equipment and professional goods; ensure the carnet lists every item shipped and is endorsed by the issuing chamber before departure.

    Weather

    September in Rio de Janeiro marks the transition into spring: afternoons reach 24–27 °C while nights cool to 18–20 °C, with lower humidity than the summer months. Rainfall totals roughly 60–90 mm across about eight to ten wet days, and showers are typically brief afternoon downpours that clear within an hour. Pack light breathable clothing for the congress halls, a compact umbrella or light rain jacket, high-factor sunscreen for the beach districts, and comfortable walking shoes for the walk between hotels and the venue.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    Confirm mobile roaming or local SIM options for business visitors to Brazil.

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Tipping and service charges

    A 10% service charge is normally added to restaurant and bar bills in Rio; adding a further 5–10% is appreciated for good service. Round fares up for taxi drivers and tip hotel porters around BRL 10 per bag.

    Business etiquette and language

    Brazilian Portuguese is the working language in the city, while congress sessions run in English with simultaneous translation for plenaries. Handshakes are standard on first meeting, first names are used quickly, and a short personal conversation before business is the norm.

    Dress and daily practicalities

    Business attire is expected for scientific sessions and smart-casual for evening receptions. Carry a copy of your passport, use app-based transport after dark, and keep valuables in the hotel safe — beach districts are busy and petty theft is opportunistic rather than confrontational.

    Plan your trip

    Planning

    Best day to visit: Tuesday 22 September 2026

    Mid-week delivers the densest mix of plenary, oral and poster sessions while the industry exhibition is fully staffed and supplier meeting rooms are still available. Monday and Tuesday also see the largest delegate presence once travel and registration are complete, unlike the opening Sunday when registration queues peak and the closing Friday when stands begin packing down.

    1

    Confirm passport validity and check Brazil entry requirements — Ensure at least six months validity beyond the World Transplant Congress dates (20-25 September 2026) and review visa needs for your nationality before booking.

    2

    Book flights to Rio de Janeiro (GIG) — Aim to arrive by 19 September 2026 so you can collect your badge and settle before the congress opens on 20 September.

    3

    Reserve a hotel in Centro, Lapa or the Santos Dumont corridor — Options captured include Hotel Atlantico Business, Novotel RJ Santos Dumont and Days Inn by Wyndham Rio de Janeiro Lapa; confirm check-in for 19 September.

    4

    Complete delegate registration — Register via the official WTC 2026 site (wtc2026.org) and print or save your confirmation for badge collection.

    5

    Download the congress programme and shortlist sessions — Map the scientific programme across the six congress days and mark must-attend transplant sessions.

    6

    Pre-schedule meetings with peers and exhibitors — Reach out to colleagues and industry partners to lock in catch-ups around the Windsor Convention & Expo Centre schedule.

    7

    Arrange airport transfer from GIG to the venue — Plan a taxi or rideshare for the 38 km, 35 to 70 minute transfer, or check hotel shuttle and metro options.

    8

    Sort local currency and payments — Brazil uses the Brazilian real (BRL); carry some cash and confirm card acceptance at hotels and the venue.

    9

    Prepare presentation and abstract materials — Back up slides or posters and bring printed copies in case of on-site technical issues.

    10

    Plan for September Rio weather — Expect warm, occasionally rainy late-September conditions; pack light layers and a compact umbrella.

    11

    Pack entry documents and business cards — Carry passport, registration confirmation, invitation letters where required, and networking materials.

    12

    Day 1 arrival and badge collection — Arrive early at Windsor Convention & Expo Centre, collect your badge and orient yourself in the halls before the opening sessions.
