Last week the Commission adopted draft decisions for the signature and conclusion of an agreement with Brazil for the waiver of a visa requirement for EU citizens. The waiver only applies for short-stay travel of up to 3 months. Once the agreements are concluded, all EU citizens will be able to travel to Brazil without a visa.
This is positive news for Malta since at the moment Maltese citizens need a visa in order to travel to Brazil. The draft decisions have to be approved by the Council of the EU which will enable the signature and conclusion of the agreement. Information: MEUSACNews
