New rules for Nepalese travelers who want to go to third countries through Brazil transit

According to the Nepali Embassy in Brazil, 176 Nepalis stuck in transit in Brazil are safe. It has been mentioned that the embassy is ready to provide humanitarian aid to them in case of need.

It is mentioned in the statement that the Embassy has drawn attention to the news that about 700 foreigners, including Nepalis, have been stopped in the transit area of Sao Paulo Airport in Brazil.

The embassy has said that there is an increasing trend of people coming to South American countries from various places with the intention of entering the United States illegally through South American countries including Brazil.

There are occasional reports that young people from Nepal are coming to this area under the temptation and instigation of organized human traffickers. It has been found that many have suffered unimaginable pain and have to spend a large amount of money,'' said a statement issued by the embassy on Tuesday.

In addition, the embassy has clarified that there are new rules for Nepalese travelers who want to go to third countries through Brazil transit.

"With immediate effect, the Brazilian government has introduced a rule to allow passport holders from some countries including Nepal to enter Brazil only if they have obtained an entry permit," the statement said, "From now on, Nepali visitors will be allowed to fly directly to their destination country via Brazil and if they do not, they will return via the same plane." It is said that they will be sent, but the refugee will not be recognized at the airport.'

If there is a valid reason for this type of travel using the network of human traffickers, do not go to Brazil or visit other countries through Brazil only if there is a valid reason. Has also requested all concerned.
