Are you from Canada, Japan, Australia or US?

Good news for some countries. Do you need a visa to visit Brazil?

Yes, that’s great news but only if you are coming from Japan, United States, Australia or Canada.

A difficult visa to get – Brazilian Visa

Historicaly Brazil is a country that made difficult for Americans to get a visa. Visas were both complicated and expensive. And you have to go to a consulate to get it. This was made easier with eletronic visas for US citizens. From early 2018 was costing no longer US$ 160 but US$ 40 to obtain a tourist visa to visit Brazil.

This was just an example. All t he other countries mentioned above were under the reciprocity program. If a Brazilian needs a visit to visit Japan, a Japanese would have to go through a similar process to get his visa as well.

Bolsonaro talks to Trump

Our president, Jair Bolsonaro, during a meeting with US president Trump in January promissed to eliminate visa requirements to these countries. He’s hooping t o boost the country’s tourism sector and get closer to the US at the same time.

Therefore as of June 17, 2019, Brazil will eliminate the tourist visa requirements from the US, Japan, Australia and Canada.

Brazil gets about 7 million tourists a year, and by 2022 we are hopping to double this amount to about 14 million tourists annualy.

And for me, as a tour operator, these news in Brazil’s foreing policy in regards to tourism couldn’t come soon enough.

Visa Exemption to Brazil

Brazilian senators have approved a bill that will exempt visa requirements to all foreigners traveling to Brazil during the period of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

More people traveling to Brazil

The idea behind the law is to have more people traveling to Brazil during the games. Tourism Minister Henrique Alves said that it was a victory for the tourism industry. Several states throughout the country will also benefit with it. More destinations unknown to the general public will be discovered and visited for the first time.

Brazil has much more to offer than what you see below!

Not only the Christ and the Sugarloaf

These are the 2 main and most visited attractions in Brazil: Christ the Redeemer and the Sugarloaf, both located in Rio de Janeiro. The Tourism Ministry intend with this new bill to promote great places and regions that normaly would not attract foreingners, such as the South of Brazil. Santa Catarina and Paraná are 2 beautiful places that are quite often forgoten by the tourists.

See the Iguaçu Falls in Paraná State below:

We hope that the bill in fact works and people see Brazil as a much more appealing destination. What do you think about the visa requirement exemption? Would you come to Brazil? You can leave your comments below.
