Kaio was called up to Brazil under-15s for the 2017 South American U-15 Championship, scoring four goals in only three matches during the tournament.[2] On 21 September 2018, he was called up to the under-17s for a friendly tournament in Nantwich and Telford, England.[8]
On 20 September 2019, Kaio was included in Guilherme Dalla Déa's 21-man list for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup.[9] He scored five goals in the competition, including one in the final a (2–1 defeat of Mexico),[10] and was awarded the Bronze Boot.[11]
