The new restrictions, which will come into effect on August 26, will affect migrants who require a visa to stay in Brazil. Citizens from those countries, who sometimes land in Brazil but forego their connecting flight, will either have to continue their journey by plane or return to their country of origin.

Brazil will begin imposing restrictions on the entry of some foreigners from Asia who use the country as a launching point to migrate to the United States and Canada, the justice ministry’s press office said Wednesday.
