Brazil To Require Visas For U.S., Canadian, And Australian Citizens

Policies changed after U.S. President Trump imposed a 10% tariff on Brazilian goods last week.

Brazil plans to reintroduce visa requirements for U.S., Canadian and Australian citizens.

The former Brazilian president ditched the visa requirements in a 2019 decree seeking to boost the country’s tourism industry.

Brazil’s current president attempted to suspend the free entry in 2023 but no change was made.

Brazil’s Senate approved a bill earlier this year to keep the visa exemption for the three countries.

However, policies changed after U.S. President Trump imposed a 10% tariff on Brazilian goods last week.

Now, the recent move ends the country’s open entry for people of those nationalities after six years.

The U.S. Embassy said that Americans will still be able to request visas electronically if they visit starting April 10 forward on.
