According to her, an employer must first be willing to sponsor a candidate's work authorisation before any visa application can proceed.

How Brazil's work visa process works

Henrietta outlined a straightforward three-step approach for anyone serious about working in Brazil legally.

  1. The first step is identifying a marketable skill, particularly in fields such as technology, engineering, healthcare, teaching, or hospitality.
  2. The second is using job platforms like Indeed, LinkedIn, and the Brazilian jobs site Catho to actively search for employers.
  3. The third, and most critical, is securing a job offer from a Brazilian company willing to sponsor the visa.

She was unambiguous about what happens without that sponsorship:

"If anyone tells you that you can get a work visa without first of all looking for all those things, the person is just lying to you."

The video drew attention not just for its practical advice but for the pointed warning aimed at immigration agents who charge fees while providing inaccurate guidance to clients hoping to relocate abroad.
