Official Information

Overview

Temporary visa for young adults (18-30) from countries with bilateral agreements (Australia, France, Germany, New Zealand, South Korea) combining tourism with paid work for up to one year.

The Working Holiday Visa (VITEM VI) is a temporary visa category established through bilateral agreements between Brazil and specific partner countries. These agreements are designed to promote cultural exchange and strengthen diplomatic ties by allowing young adults to travel to Brazil for tourism while supplementing their funds through temporary, short-term employment. The visa fills the gap for young travelers who wish to experience Brazilian culture for an extended period without the restrictive requirements of a standard work visa, provided their home country maintains a reciprocal agreement with Brazil.

This visa is exclusively for young adults, typically aged 18 to 30 (though this can vary by specific agreement), who are citizens of countries that have a reciprocal Working Holiday program with Brazil. It is ideal for students, recent graduates, or young professionals seeking a gap year or an immersive cultural experience. The visa is distinctive because it treats work as a secondary, incidental activity to the primary purpose of tourism and cultural exchange. Applicants must demonstrate sufficient financial means to support themselves and provide proof of health insurance valid for their entire stay.
