In an effort to boost tourism numbers, Brazil has announced plans to lift visa requirements for citizens of Canada, Australia, the U.S. and Japan beginning this summer.
Effective June 17, traveling to Brazil will be a lot easier for the aforementioned countries. The visa-free access will be valid for stays of 90 days and extendable for another 90 days under certain conditions.
It's hoped the relaxed visa rules will increase tourist traffic with each country by up to 25 percent. The U.S., Canada, Australia and Japan are described as "strategic" markets for the development of tourism in Brazil.
