Want to visit Brazil? From next year, US travelers will need to share their bank statements first

(CNN) — 2024 is shaping up to be the year of travel reprieves.

Hot on the heels of the European Union postponing (again) its much-mooted ETIAS program, which will require visitors from most non-EU countries to obtain pre-travel clearance, Brazil has pushed back the start of its new visa system for travelers from the US, Canada and Australia.

However, if 2024 is the year of the reprieve, 2025 is when everything will hit home. And for travelers from those three countries heading to Brazil, it’ll hit home, hit their bank balances – and require them to share their bank statements, too.

ETIAS is slated to start in 2025 and Brazil has now confirmed a start date for its visa program.

Wednesday

but I doubt it now. Combine this new requirement with the alarming number of tourists who are routinely kidnapped at gunpoint and then ushered to ATM machines where tourists empty out their accounts for the kidnappers. I visited Rio for 10 days in 1987 and thought it was an incredibly beautiful and interesting place, and crime was pretty bad even then. It’s only gotten worse from what I’ve read. No thanks.
