Visa would be required from January 10th, but the government postponed the requirement again. Release of the document was adopted in 2019, by then president Jair Bolsonaro. Passenger movement at Guarulhos International Airport, the largest in the country, located in Guarulhos, in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo FELIPE RAU/ESTADÃO CONTENT President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) postponed the resumption of visa collection until April 10 for tourists coming to Brazil from the United States, Canada and Australia. The measure was made official in a decree published in an extra edition of the “Official Gazette of the Union” this Thursday (4). The government postponed the visa requirement for the second time. The original date was October 1, 2023 and was later postponed to January 10, 2024. Now, the new date is April 10. The requirement will take into account the date of arrival in Brazil. “The extension is intended to complete the system implementation process and avoid the start of implementation in a period close to the high travel season at the end and beginning of the year. The intention is to guarantee a safe introduction of the measure, without consequences for the tourism sector”, stated the government in a statement released to the press. Parliamentarians articulated the overturn of the decree that provided for the resumption of collection in January. The release of the visa requirement was adopted in 2019, by then president Jair Bolsonaro (PL), who did not require the same measure for Brazilians who intended to visit these countries. Lula decided to return to the need for the document based on the principle of reciprocity. Brazil only stops requiring a visa if there is an equal counterpart from the other country.
