President Lula decided to resume the visa requirement for tourists from the USA, Australia, Canada, and Japan to enter Brazil. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs ( Itamaraty) has already communicated the representations of these countries that their citizens will be demanded to follow the same rules established for Brazilian citizens.
The new government had been studying the impact of the measure on tourism, with the possibility of resuming the principle of reciprocity, historically adopted by the Itamaraty.
Former President Jair Bolsonaro announced the revocation of the visa requirement in March 2019, on the eve of his trip to the US to meet then-President Donald Trump.
The visa waiver applied to those traveling to Brazil for tourism, business, transit, and artistic and sports activities. It also extended to persons "in exceptional circumstances in the national interest"
