Abstract

ABSTRACT This article builds on data collected as a part of two research projects to provide a comparative study on the migration journeys of young Brazilian couples in Auckland (New Zealand), the Gold Coast and Perth (Australia). We employ the theoretical lens of multi-stage migration to explore how Brazilian migrant couples plan and pursue journeys across different visa statuses to transition through less precarious forms of migration. Findings suggest that they often plan and pursue their journeys together and that their decision to migrate to Australia and New Zealand is linked to the pathways provided by these countries for more secure forms of migration and visa status. The comparative perspective shows that the trajectories of Brazilian migrants in New Zealand are different to the journeys of Brazilians in Australia in relation to the most protracted stage of their visa journeys. The strategies pursued by Brazilian couples to transit to a less precarious migration status are also particular to each of these countries. This article contributes to the sociological literature on multi-stage migration by emphasising how migrants enact collective agency and navigate restrictive migration regimes together as couples, pursuing joint migration strategies that depend on the maintenance of the relationship.

一起驾驭移民团：巴西夫妇在奥克兰、黄金海岸和珀斯的旅程

摘要本文以两个研究项目收集的数据为基础，对巴西年轻夫妇在奥克兰（新西兰）、黄金海岸和珀斯（澳大利亚）的移民旅程进行了比较研究。我们采用多阶段移民的理论视角来探索巴西移民夫妇如何计划和追求不同签证状态的旅程，以过渡到不那么不稳定的移民形式。调查结果表明，他们经常一起计划和旅行，他们移民到澳大利亚和新西兰的决定与这些国家为更安全的移民形式和签证身份提供的途径有关。从比较的角度来看，巴西移民在新西兰的轨迹与巴西人在澳大利亚的旅程不同，因为他们的签证旅程最漫长。巴西夫妇为过渡到不那么不稳定的移民身份而采取的策略对这些国家来说也是特殊的。这篇文章通过强调移民如何作为夫妻共同制定集体代理和驾驭限制性移民制度，寻求取决于关系维持的联合移民战略，为多阶段移民的社会学文献做出了贡献。
