Brazil Set to Grant Visa Exemptions for Chinese Nationals
The policy shift arrives as a direct response to China's implementation of comparable visa waiver measures in 2025, according to Agencia Brasil news agency, which cited official presidency sources.
Beijing launched a trial visa exemption program on June 1, enabling citizens from multiple Latin American countries—including Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Uruguay—to enter China without visa requirements for short stays.
Brazil's reciprocal action is designed to accelerate people-to-people connectivity between China and other global regions, aligning with Beijing's broader strategic push to fortify diplomatic and economic partnerships across Latin America and emerging international coalitions.
Lula personally briefed Chinese President Xi Jinping on the visa policy decision during a late Thursday telephone conversation, the agency confirmed.
The move underscores intensifying cooperation between Brasília and Beijing as both nations seek to expand trade corridors, cultural exchanges, and political alignment amid shifting global power dynamics.
