Visa to Paradise



 With the Olympic and Paralympic games next year Brazil is introducing a 90 day visa exemption to lure tourists.
  Brazil is one of the world’s most captivating places to visit. With its people, rain forests, beaches, and its most famous celebration, the Carnaval, Brazil offers an array of possibilities. 







America has announced that its Global Entry Program is coming to the UK. British citizens can now apply for a fast track to border control. A pre-approved Global Entry means no more queuing.





 

 In the desire to increase the international tourist arrival, India is simplifying its visa process by making it more tourist friendly. One of the main changes is to increase the length of stay to 60 days. 








To boost tourism Kenya is to waive the visa fee for children under the age of 16. The UK foreign office has relaxed its travel advice to Kenya.
