Overview

The Holiday-Work Visa program between Brazil and New Zealand offers New Zealand citizens aged 18 to 30 the chance to live and work in Brazil for up to 12 months. Each year, there is a quota of 500 visas available. The visa application process is available online and has fees. Most applications are processed within 2 weeks. With this visa, you can work in Brazil for up to 12 months and study or train for up to 6 months in total. However, you cannot accept a permanent job or work for the same employer for more than 3 months. Additionally, you cannot bring children with you; if you have a partner wishing to join you in Brazil, they will need to apply for their own visa.
