Memorandum signed between the Brazilian federal government and Australia provides for the issuance of visas for work and study with a 12-month stay in the country

Last Friday (1) the memorandum signed between the Brazilian federal government and the Australian government for the granting of a visa package for work and vacation. The package has more than 500 visas for young people between the ages of 18 and 30 who want to experience Australia and even be hired permanently by a company there. This memorandum was signed on March 31, 2022, but it only took effect in July.

According to statistics pointed out by the federal government, Brazil already makes up the ninth largest contingent of students who migrate to Australia in order to study or work. Therefore, this new measure aims to further stimulate the relationship between the countries. Brazil also maintains agreements of this type with Germany, France and New Zealand. Want to participate?

Australia faces labor shortages and seeks immigrants to meet job demands

Like the developed countries of Europe and even North America, Australia faces a serious problem of lack of skilled labor and not qualified. In early 2022, chicken distribution was affected in the country due to the isolation of workers due to the new wave of Covid-19.

In addition, as in Europe, Australia faces a consecutive aging population reducing the availability of local collaborators. Unskilled jobs, such as employment in fast foods, are also left over, as there are few residents who wish to work in this area.

How does the process to get the memo work and holiday visa work?

In the regime that has been in force for years, for you to be able to spend time in Australia, you need to present a prior bond with an employer or educational institution, such as universities, for example. However, with this memorandum, you can spend up to 12 months in the country without this proof of employment and you can risk looking for a new job there for permanent employment.

To obtain a visa within the model established in the memorandum, according to the data contained in the document, you must ensure that:

• intend primarily to holiday in Australia for a period of up to twelve (12) months;
• be at least 18 (eighteen) years old, but not 31 (thirty-one) at the time of applying for the visa;
• have not previously participated in Australia's Work and Holiday or Work and Holiday program;
• will not be accompanied by dependent children;
• holds a valid passport;
• have a travel ticket or sufficient funds to purchase such ticket;
• has sufficient funds for personal maintenance during the initial stay in the territory of Australia, for the purposes of the bilateral program on the “Work and Holiday” visa;
• meets health and character requirements as specified by the laws of Australia;
• successfully completed at least two (2) years of study in higher education;
• has a level of proficiency in English that is minimally assessed as functional.

The memorandum also establishes that contracting for services must not exceed a period of 6 months. But, if you get a job for a longer period of time, you can apply for employment and a permanent visa to live in Australia, which is a slightly more complicated process.
