Brazil has made it easier for Chinese seafarers to enter the country. The new rules also apply to crews from Hong Kong and Macau, China’s Special Administrative Regions.
The changes are part of Brazil’s effort to simplify immigration for foreign maritime workers. Now, Chinese seafarers can get visas faster and with fewer requirements. This helps shipping companies manage their crews more efficiently.
Brazil’s government says the move will boost trade and strengthen ties with China. Many ships carrying goods between the two countries rely on Chinese crews. Easier travel rules reduce delays and keep supply chains moving.
The updated policy follows talks between Brazilian and Chinese officials. Both sides agreed that smoother immigration processes benefit the maritime industry.
Shipping companies welcome the change. They say it will save time and paperwork. Crews from Hong Kong and Macau will enjoy the same benefits as mainland Chinese seafarers.
Brazil’s decision reflects its growing partnership with China in trade and logistics. The new rules take effect immediately, helping ships and their crews operate more smoothly.
