Why can't I buy a local SIM in Brazil?

A SIM requires a CPF — a Brazilian tax number that tourists do not have. A travel eSIM needs none.

Is there signal on the Rio beaches and at Iguazu?

Yes, Copacabana, Ipanema and the Iguazu falls have 4G. In the Amazon and Pantanal there is almost none.

Which networks does the Brazil eSIM use?

Plans connect to Claro, TIM, Vivo. The network is selected automatically when the eSIM registers; nothing to switch by hand.

Is 5G available on Brazil plans?

Yes, plans support 4G/5G. Real-world speed depends on the operator's coverage where you are and on whether your phone supports 5G.

How much does a Brazil eSIM cost?

From €1.00 for a 100 MB plan. The best value per gigabyte is 50 GB for 30 days at €86.67. The price is fixed at checkout, with no fees on top.

Can I share the Brazil eSIM data as a hotspot?

Yes, Wi-Fi hotspot (tethering) is allowed on every Brazil plan. Shared traffic comes out of the same allowance.

When does the validity period start?

The first time the eSIM joins a network at the destination, not at purchase. Install the profile in advance and switch it on when you land.

eSIM for Brazil: what to know

Brazil is a country where a foreigner can barely buy a local SIM: it requires a CPF tax number. A travel eSIM removes the problem entirely and works on arrival in São Paulo or Rio. Vivo, Claro and TIM cover the cities and the coast, with 4G on the Copacabana and Ipanema beaches and 5G in the big cities.

Outside the cities — in the Amazon, the Pantanal, on roads between states — the signal disappears for long stretches. Iguazu and Florianópolis have good coverage.

Plans connect to Claro, TIM, Vivo on 4G/5G. The network is picked automatically, and Wi-Fi hotspot is allowed.

There are 17 plans: 100 MB to 50 GB of data, valid 7 days to 30 days, from €1.00. Per-day plans are available too — handy for short trips. The best price per gigabyte is the 50 GB / 30 days plan at €86.67.

Install the profile before you travel, at home over Wi-Fi: validity starts the first time the eSIM joins a network at the destination, not at purchase.

Payment

Pay by international or Russian card, or in crypto. The eSIM QR code arrives by email within a couple of minutes — no account needed.

Tips for Brazil

Uber and 99 work in every big city and are safer than street taxis; keep data on.
For the Amazon and Pantanal expect no signal — download everything in advance.
5 GB covers two weeks.

How much data you need

As a guide: maps, messengers and social feeds use about 500 MB a day; add video and calls and it is 1 GB or more.
