Over 9.3 thousand Ukrainians visited Brazil in 2017-2018 – Ambassador

Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to Brazil Rostyslav Tronenko said this in an interview with Ukrinform.

"Ukraine and Brazil have a visa-free agreement, which helps increase the number of our tourists. In 2017-2018, more than 9.3 thousand Ukrainians visited Brazil. The most popular destinations are Rio de Janeiro, Florianopolis, Buzios, Foz do Iguacu, Sao Paulo, the Amazon, and El Salvador,” said Tronenko.

According to him, many Ukrainians work on merchant ships and cruise liners that go to the territorial waters of Brazil. At the same time, the ambassador reminded about the need to observe security measures while staying in the country.

“The embassy recommends Ukrainian citizens, arriving in this country or planning to come here, to follow personal security measures, avoid places of demonstrations and mass gatherings, limit travel in public places in the afternoon and at night-time," said the diplomat.
