Brazil to restrict entry of some Asian nationals in bid to curb migration to US and Canada

Brazil is imposing restrictions on the entry of some foreigners from Asia, starting on Monday. The restrictions will affect migrants from Asian countries who require visas to remain in Brazil, but will not apply to US citizens and many European nationals who do not need visas. The move is expected to impact Asian migrants who require visas, with a significant proportion of airport refugee requests coming from individuals with Indian, Nepalese, or Vietnamese nationalities. Travelers without visas will be required to either continue their journey by plane or return to their country of origin.
