Many Brazilians who come to Ireland arrive with the intention of not just studying, but also working. During school semesters Brazilians are entitled to work 20 hours per week and during school holidays they can work full time. These work rules favor Ireland over many other popular destinations for English language students, with many other destinations not allow working conditions with such study visas.
