Brazilian tourism minister, Gastao Vieira announced that “in the near future, Brazil will adopt an electronic system for those international tourists to request the visa via internet, similar to the system currently being used by Brazilians who want to visit Australia, Mexico and Canada”.
“It is a guideline by the Federal government that the visa has to be given the same day it is applied for, and later we will setup the electronic system”, said Vieira.
The minister participated in the panel Tourism in emerging markets that took place during the Forum Panrotas.
