IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? Brazil will introduce an electronic temporary entry visa next week for Australian visitors.
What does the change mean? The visas will be issued within 72 hours of request and will be available to Australian tourists and business travelers.
Background: In January, Brazil announced the electronic visa system, which will also include nationals of the U.S., Canada and Japan. Eligible travelers will be able to apply online and receive an electronically issued visa within 48 to 72 hours. The anticipated launch dates for the other three nationals are in January 2018.
BAL Analysis: The introduction of the online visa system is consistent with Brazil’s initiatives to streamline immigration services and will reduce processing times and improve travel for Australian business and tourist visitors.
