Brazil has announced plans to remove visas for citizens of many countries, including citizens of China, Denmark, France, Hungary, Ireland, Jamaica, Saint Lucia and the Bahamas, as part of a pilot program that allows citizens of these countries to enter Brazil for stays of fewer than 30 days. The move comes as Brazil aims to maintain its strong tourism numbers and prepares to host several international sporting events, including the Formula 1 São Paulo Grand Prix in 2026 and Rugby World Cup Sevens in 2027.
