Travel-risk intelligence firm Riskline chose 25 February 2026 to publish its quarterly “Changing Visa Rules” bulletin, a 12-page briefing focused on corporate mobility hot-spots. Two Brazil-centric highlights stand out. First, the note confirms that Mexico has reinstated an electronic visitor visa (eVisa) for Brazilian passport holders arriving by air, effective 5 February 2026. The document—obtainable online in under 48 hours—restores a digital pathway that had been suspended in 2022. Although land and sea arrivals still require a consular sticker, the move slashes lead-times for MICE groups heading to hubs such as Cancún or Mexico City.

For corporate travel teams looking to capitalise on these streamlined procedures, VisaHQ offers an all-in-one platform that simplifies the application process. Through its dedicated Brazil portal (https://www.visahq.com/brazil/), users can submit Mexico eVisas, UK ETAs and dozens of other electronic permits, track status updates in real time and receive compliance alerts—saving administrators time while ensuring travellers aren’t caught out by last-minute rule changes.
Second, Riskline reiterates that from 25 February 2026 UK carriers must refuse boarding to any traveller who lacks either an approved ETA (for visa-exempt nationals such as Brazilians) or an eVisa. The alert urges travel managers to integrate automated ETA checks into booking flows and reminds dual nationals that a Brazilian-issued passport alone is no longer sufficient evidence of UK status. Beyond the Americas and Europe, the bulletin maps a flurry of digital-visa launches—Kenya eTA, GCC Unified Tourist Visa, Vietnam eVisa expansion—underscoring the speed at which entry formalities are moving to app-based platforms. Riskline’s analysts warn that systems are being enforced with “no-fly” carrier liability, meaning a single missed authorisation can cancel a trip at the gate. Brazil-based multinationals are using the bulletin to update mobility playbooks: aviation firms operating crew rotations through London-Heathrow have added an extra verification step in their rostering software, while an agribusiness giant told Global Mobility News it will switch its Latin-America leadership meeting from Bogotá to Cancún to take advantage of Mexico’s revived eVisa for Brazilians.
