Brazil will start restricting entry to foreigners who land in the country without a visa and are en route to another destination, to combat human trafficking.

Brazil’s Ministry of Justice said that from Aug. 26, anyone who enters Brazil without a “visa and whose final destination is another country” will be asked to continue to that destination or return home immediately, according to a report from Agencia Brasil, a state-run news agency.
