Brazil Officially Waives Short-Stay Visas for Chinese Citizens, Opening 30-Day Visa-Free Window
Brazil has implemented a 30-day visa-free regime for holders of ordinary Chinese passports, effective 11 May 2026 and publicised on 4 July. The waiver streamlines short-term business and tourism trips, potentially boosting Chinese arrivals by a third, but does not cover paid employment or longer stays—which will migrate to a forthcoming e-visa platform.
