Brazil Grants Visa-Free Entry to 8 Nations

Brazil opens its borders wider, granting visa-free entry to citizens of China, Denmark, France, Hungary, Ireland, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, and the Bahamas. Effective February 24, 2026, ordinary passport holders from these eight countries enjoy stays of up to 30 days, extendable locally to 90 days within any 12-month period. This bold move by the Lula administration targets high-spending long-haul travelers and MICE delegates, building on recent waivers for the US, Canada, Australia, Japan, and UK.
