It’s official: you can now swap your home office view for the scenic landscapes of Italy, thanks to the new digital nomad visa.

I just read about an exciting update for travelers planning trips to Brazil! In an intriguing twist of events, the start date for Brazil's new visa requirement for U.S. and Canadian citizens has been postponed yet again. Now set to commence on April 10, 2025, this delay gives North American travelers more time to enjoy visa-free adventures in the vibrant landscapes of Brazil.

Initially planned to kick off earlier this year, the requirement has been deferred multiple times, reflecting perhaps logistical challenges or diplomatic considerations. When it does take effect, the visa will be valid for stays up to 90 days and will cost $80.90 USD. Impressively, it will remain valid for up to five years for Canadians and ten years for U.S. citizens, making it quite a practical deal for frequent travelers.

Key Takeaways:

• 📅 Another Year Free! The new Brazil visa requirement for U.S. and Canadian citizens now starts in 2025.

• 🔄 History of Delays: This postponement marks at least the third delay, originally scheduled for January 2024.

• 💳 Visa Cost and Validity: At $80.90, the visa lasts 5 years for Canadians and 10 years for U.S. citizens.
