Brazil to bar entry to citizens of Asian countries: Brazil has decided not to allow it to be used as a route for migration to the US-Canada. For this, Brazil will ban the entry of Asians including those from India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Indonesia. Brazil has seen a 70 percent increase in the number of desperate people seeking asylum compared to last year. Among them, Indian, Nepalese or Vietnamese people are prominent.
Brazil will stop migration of Asians including Indians to US-Canada
In addition, 30 percent of people coming from African countries such as Somalia, Cameroon, Ghana and Ethiopia are desperate. This move, which will start from Monday, will affect people coming from Asian countries. They are required to obtain a Brazilian visa. However, US citizens and citizens of several European countries are exempted from this.
Asians are not allowed to enter Brazil without documents
Investigations by the Federal Police have revealed that these immigrants book full flights and tickets from São Paulo International Airport to another destination, then stop in Brazil and from there try to get to the US. As a result, visa-free arrivals from next week will have to continue their journey by plane or return to their country of origin.
Evidence suggests that a large portion of migrants use extremely dangerous routes to reach the US. They travel from Sao Paulo to the western state of Acre to cross into Peru, from there to Central America, where they can travel to the southern border. An AP investigation in July found that colonists from India and Vietnam also use the Amazon route.
Brazil received 9,082 asylum applications this year
Brazilian police have received 9,084 requests for asylum this year as of July 15. This figure is double the figure for 2023 and the highest in decades.
