Russia and Brazil Begin Visa-Free Travel


07.06.2010

A 2008 agreement between Russia and Brazil on visa-free short-term tourist travel comes into effect on Monday, RIA Novosti reports. The agreement was signed during President Dmitry Medvedev's visit to Brazil on November 26, 2008.

Under the agreement, Russian and Brazilian tourists are not required visas for entry, exit, transit or stay on the territory of another state for up to 90 days within each 180-day period from the first entry.

However, those who travel to Russia and vice-versa to start a business, to seek an employment, to engage in religious or charity activities, to receive education or training, or to take part in a research, will still be required to obtain a visa.

Brazil is the sixth state in Latin America to scrap visa requirements for Russian citizens, following Venezuela, Cuba, Peru, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic and Argentina.
