* Note, some parts of Brazil, and Rio are very unsafe for expatriates and security planning and site assessment by a security professional is recommended.

** Coverage of risks located in Brazil is regulated under Article 6 of Decree-law No. 73/66, which only permits placement of insurance and reinsurance abroad when coverage is not available in Brazil or coverage thereof is not convenient to the national interests. When insurance is placed with non-admitted insurers, according to articles 44, I, “d”, and 81, of Decree-law no. 73/66, the Brazilian Reinsurance Institute (IRB) is responsible for intermediating and promoting placement abroad of insurance and reinsurance where such insurance is not available in the domestic market. An insured may not turn to the non-admitted market until after it has obtained either 10 declinations or, if there are not 10 domestic carriers in that line of business, a declination from each local insurer in that business.
