"Brazil to Limit Foreign Entries to Reduce Migration to US, Canada"

Brazil is introducing new entry restrictions for foreigners in a bid to reduce the flow of migrants heading to the United States and Canada. This policy aims to control migration patterns and address the increasing number of people using Brazil as a transit point for reaching North America. The move reflects Brazil's effort to cooperate with international partners on migration issues.

Brazil will soon impose restrictions on the entry of certain Asian citizens who seek asylum in the country as a step toward migrating to the United States and Canada, according to the justice ministry's press office on Wednesday.

This measure, set to begin on Monday, targets Asian migrants who need visas to stay in Brazil. A Federal Police investigation revealed that these migrants often book flights with layovers at São Paulo's international airport, intending to remain in Brazil before heading northward, as stated in official documents shared with The Associated Press.

One document indicates that over 70% of asylum requests at the airport come from Indian, Nepalese, or Vietnamese nationals. Starting next week, travelers without visas will be required to either continue their journey or return to their home country, the ministry's press office added.
