Brazil will impose entry restrictions on certain Asian nationals seeking refuge, effective Monday. This decision targets migrants from India, Nepal, and Vietnam, who often use Brazil as a transit point to the U.S. and Canada. Over 70% of asylum requests at São Paulo's airport come from these groups. Travelers without visas must either continue their journey or return home, according to the justice ministry.
