Working Holiday in Australia for Brazilian citizens (2026)
Requirements, application steps and travel preparation.
Step 1
Check requirements and prepare your language skills
Passport and nationality
Valid Brazilian passport
Brazil is an accepted passport country for subclass 462. Residence in Brazil without that citizenship does not give access to this programme.
References: BR-AU-462
Language requirement
Functional English with accepted evidence
Accepted evidence can include qualifying English-medium education or an approved test. A test must have been taken within 12 months before applying. Self-assessment is not enough; check the authority’s test list and scores.
References: BR-AU-462
Explore English courses →Documents and previous participation
At least 2 years of post-secondary study
Brazil’s row requires successful completion of at least two years of post-secondary study. Do not copy other passports’ alternative qualification rule. Brazil is not on the consulted government support-letter list. Check health, character and any previous entry on a 417 or 462.
References: BR-AU-462
Before applying
Prepare evidence of at least two successfully completed years of post-secondary study. Check the validity of English evidence and the current criteria for each document. Plan for usually about AUD 5,000 initially, plus departure costs, without treating this as the whole trip budget. Check insurance and exclusions before buying.

Step 2
Apply for the Working Holiday visa
Annual quota
500 per year
This is Brazil’s annual first-visa cap. It does not show remaining places or whether you can submit today.
References: BR-AU-CAPS
Application dates
July: confirm the calendar and time zone
The programme year starts on 1 July; the cap page says lodgement begins on 2 July AEST. As a cautious preparation step, be ready and start checking from 1 July. Confirm your city’s date and the next cycle’s announcement; we do not assume an opening time.

Visa fee
Confirm this with the authority before preparing or paying for an application. We have not yet established this detail for Brazilian passports.

How to prepare your application
- Check Brazil’s subclass 462 requirements: age, completed education, accepted English evidence and previous participation.
- Gather your passport, transcripts or education evidence, English evidence, funds and personal documents. Arrange translations according to the official checklist.
- Check the official calendar and apply through ImmiAccount when the portal permits. Confirm the charge in the system before paying.
- Respond to health, character or additional-document requests. Wait for the grant before committing to travel, work or study.
We do not handle visa applications or receive application documents. Do not send personal documents to this website.
Step 3
If my visa is approved
Wait for a written decision. Before booking, check your entry deadline and the conditions of the permit you receive.
Length of stay
Up to 12 months
Check the entry deadline in your grant letter; the general conditions allow 12 months from grant to begin the trip. Your stay and entries depend on the visa granted.
References: BR-AU-462
Step 4
Get ready for my trip
Funds for your stay
Prepare at least AUD 5,000, plus departure
The authority describes initial funds as usually about AUD 5,000, plus the departure fare. Preparing at least that amount is cautious guidance, not an exact threshold or the whole trip budget.
References: BR-AU-462
Travel insurance
Mandatory insurance conditions for your case were not established in this review. Check official instructions, consider medical and repatriation cover, and examine work and activity exclusions before buying.

These marks are not saved or sent. Reloading clears them.
Step 5
Start my Working Holiday in Australia
Work conditions
Usually 6 months with one employer
The general limit concerns one employer, not six months of work in total. You can work during your authorised stay subject to conditions; check exceptions before continuing with the same employer.
References: BR-AU-462
Study during your trip
Up to 4 months (17 weeks)
You can use that time for English or other permitted study. Better English may help when looking for work, but it does not guarantee a job or visa approval.
References: BR-AU-462
Explore English courses →On arrival
Read the grant letter, especially the entry deadline and individual conditions. Keep funds and departure evidence available. The general six-month limit concerns the same employer; study is limited to four months, equivalent to 17 weeks.
References: BR-AU-462BR-AU-CAPS
Your first days
- Plan your transfer and keep your accommodation address available offline.
- Before accepting a job, check the contract, work conditions and relevant local formalities.
- If studying, confirm your timetable and location with the school. Save support contacts and review your budget.

Frequently asked questions
Is completing secondary school enough?
The inspected Brazilian rule requires at least two successfully completed years of post-secondary study. Check the accepted evidence for your course.
References: BR-AU-462
Do I need a government support letter?
Brazil does not appear in the countries requiring a letter in the recorded 16 October inspection. Recheck the current list before applying; do not copy another passport’s requirement.
References: BR-AU-462
Is my own English assessment enough?
No. You need an accepted form of evidence. If using a test, the inspected guidance requires it to have been taken within twelve months before applying.
References: BR-AU-462
Does the programme start on 1 or 2 July?
The programme year starts on 1 July; the current caps page gives lodgement from 2 July AEST. Prepare beforehand and check the next announcement and portal operation.
References: BR-AU-CAPS BR-AU-CAPS-18
Can I work for only six months in total?
The general limit is six months with one employer, rather than six months of work across the whole trip. Official exceptions need checking for each case.
References: BR-AU-462
How much does the visa cost?
The current first subclass 462 charge was not confirmed in this review. Check the official price before paying; do not use the subclass 417 price.
