Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has applied for a tourist visa to be able to stay in USA six more monthsas reported by one of his lawyers in an interview with the British newspaper ‘Financial Times’.
“Florida will be their temporary home away from home (Brazil),” said the lawyer, Felipe Aleixandre, founder of the AG Immigration firm. The former president “needs some stability“, according to Aleixandre, who has left open the possibility for Bolsonaro to apply for a permanent visa.
This comes after Flavio Bolsonaro, son of the former president, suggested over the weekend that his father could return to Brazil “tomorrow, in six months or never,” according to the newspaper ‘O Globo’.
