Yes. Install your Global eSIM before you fly and set it to activate on arrival. Your plan connects to Vivo or Claro automatically within seconds of landing at Guarulhos (São Paulo), Galeão (Rio de Janeiro), Salvador, Recife, or any other airports.

A prepaid eSIM for Global from Luxxe eSims requires no CPF, no passport submission, and no registration of any kind, just a QR code scan before you fly.
