During the conference organized by the BTW Brazil DMC, which took place at the Consulate-General of Brazil in Los Angeles on November 8, some announcements regarding the tourist industry of Brazil took place.

Starting on January 15, a new electronic visa program for certain nationalities will take effect, so that tourists coming from the U.S., Canada, Australia, and Japan will be able to get their visas easier. The entire visa process for those visitors will be available online and obtained within 72 hours. The new upcoming e-visa program for U.S., Canadian, Australian, and Japanese citizens is one of the measures the Brazilian government is about to put in force in order to attract more visitors to the country.
