Brazil is set to impose restrictions on the entry of some nationals into the country, a move that could help stem the flow of migrants to North America.
The move will start on Monday and impact those from Asian countries requiring visas to remain in the country. Nationals from India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Vietnam represent the bulk of those who request refuge on arrival. The country has received over 9,000 such petitions through July 15, over twice the amount of 2023 and the most in a decade.
