Tips and Advice on Brazil from Your Fellow New Zealand Expats

Obviously, expat life in Brazil goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow New Zealanders is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Brazilian mentality and way of life. New Zealanders in Brazil are a part of our community, calling cities such as Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Brasilia, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow New Zealanders in Brasilia, for example.

Wondering where to shop for New Zealand delicatessen, want to discuss your national team's latest match, or simply talk to someone in your native language? Become a member of the Brazilian InterNations Community!

  • Our network is the best place to meet expats from New Zealand.
  • On the Brazil Expat Forums, you can get competent answers to all your expat-related questions: how to find a babysitter fluent in your mother tongue, where to get pavlova in Brasilia, etc.
  • The InterNations Places database for Brazil has information on the nearest New Zealand embassy and many other institutions.

From the strongly urbanized south-east to the Federal District, you can meet supportive and friendly New Zealand expats in Brazil on InterNations.

Meet and Mingle with Fellow New Zealanders in Brazil

Additionally, InterNations hosts regular expat events and activities in Brazil. Our get-togethers are sure to cater to your taste as well: as a member, you can partake in cozy gatherings to enjoy some Brazilian feijoada, join one of our huge expat celebrations with hundreds of participants in Brasilia’s best locations, and much more.
