Rules are aligned with EASA: operator registration from 250 g and for any drone with a camera, plus the online test. National regulators word this differently — check the local authority before you travel.

Com restriçõesRegisto a partir de 1500 g

CAAS registration applies to drones over 1.5 kg. But the city-state is almost entirely covered by restricted zones: without a permit you may fly only at a handful of sites, with a 60 m altitude cap.

Classes de peso: porque toda a gente fala em 250 gramas

Em quase todos os países os requisitos não dependem do modelo mas do peso à descolagem. Os limiares variam, a lógica é a mesma: quanto mais leve o drone, menos papelada.

Onde podes voar com um drone e onde ele é apreendido na alfândega

Um drone em viagem dá boas imagens mas também o risco de perder o equipamento. As regras variam radicalmente: na Austrália e Nova Zelândia o voo recreativo não exige registo algum, o Japão regista drones a partir de 100 g e em Marrocos ou no Egito o drone é retirado no aeroporto e nem sempre devolvido.

Antes de partir vale esclarecer: podes introduzir o drone, é preciso registo e a partir de que peso, e são exigidos exame de piloto e seguro de responsabilidade. Nalguns países o registo demora semanas e exige um telefone ou número fiscal local — começa cedo.

Verifica à parte as proibições locais: parques nacionais, sítios históricos, templos, resorts de praia e centros urbanos estão muitas vezes fechados a drones mesmo onde voar é permitido.
