Brazil’s Ministry of Tourism and the Brazilian Tourist Board have issued an information sheet detailing the nation’s new visa waiver program for the time period.

The visa waiver system will permit residents from these four countries to go to Brazil visa free.

The elimination from the visa condition is legitimate for 90 days. Travelers from Australia, Canada, U.S. and Japan, need to profit by the new measures to visit Brazil from June 1^st until September 18^th 2016. These vacationers can stay without visa for a maximum period of 90 days.

Indian citizens will need to apply and acquire tourist visas to visit Brazil which allows Indian nationals to stay in Brazil for a maximum period of 90 days. On the travel expenditure front, the Brazilian Real to the Indian National Rupee is expected to hover around the Rs. 17-18 mark. Y-Axis suggests that in order to save on extra expenditure, book your travel and stay to Brazil at the earliest as the 2014 World Cup itself brought in more than one million tourists and the numbers this year are expected to bring in more visitors to the country.
