General Info

[Sperto]

Maybe somebody else have the same problem? LATAM site works better than the GOL site, but GOL often have better prices and flight schedules.

The problem with the GOL site right now is that if you pick a ticket at a certain date it will sell you a ticket a day earlier. OK, so I chose a date one day after when I want to fly, then the purchase ticket will be on the right date. However when you continue to checkout to pay it's impossible to change the country from Brazil to another country. Of course you can choose your country in the top bar, but this will automatically change to Brazil when showing your search results. I also tried making a purchase by logging into the GOL site first, but then there is an error message about currency.

I asked GOL about there problems and they told me it's because an update on their platform. When will it work? Maybe tomorrow or maybe in a month.

An update if somebody else experiences the same problem. The GOL site for Europe continues to give tickets on the wrong date. GOL apologizes so much. BTW the GOL site had some issues this morning. They had tickets Fortaleza-Rio for 106 reais. The prices got changed to normal prices after one hour.

LATAMs site for Europe (Other countries) works very badly. I tried calling their contact centers in UK and Germany. The calls gets disconnected after a few minutes.

My solution was using LATAMs German site (even though I don't live there). Then it worked fine.

Got my CPF in 3 days, thanks all for the infos and assistance. Hope to have no problem with the sim card and not waste time for purchase one. Can't wait for my first trip in Brasil, next month.

A home antigen test will not be enough. Negative covid test results must be performed in a laboratory recognized by the health authority of the country of origin and must be presented in Portuguese, Spanish or English.

I showed my rapid antigen test at the airport before checking in. That was the only time they asked. Customs in SP didn't ask for any test.

Tomm, in a month or in a year. That is Brazil for you in Nut Shell.

Will let you know. Thanks.

That is good news. No longer need to worry about the PCR. Can just take a cheaper home antigen test the day before.

Did you use EXTERIOR email address on this website? I also follow the instructions on the post. I am in the US and didn't send address documents and got my CPF by email a few day later. Strange.

[Christian G]

I made several trips to different governments offices for several days. Follow the instruction of the attached form as much as you can. I use my US address. The fields on the form don't match but I did it anyway. These are the only info I sent to the email address listed.

1. the receipt of the online submission.
2 selfie with passport.

Nothing more, just be clear, I did not send utility bill mainly because I did not have it at that time. I could get it from my host but I don't have to.

I got my CPF within 3 days. I hope it works for you too.

I followed your instruction, filled out everything closest possible online with your link, took a selfie and sent the attachments to this email off website here https://www.gov.br/receitafederal/pt...os-por-e-mail/.

It only took 3 days to receive my CPF. Everything was done online, and I am not in Brazil. Muito Obrigado.

Better try Azul!

I've tried Azul but in my experience LATAM and GOL have better prices, more flights to choose between and more direct flights for the destinations I go to. But sure, Azul is an option.

I shouldn't complain. In the early nineties the domestic flights were expensive and I sometimes had to take 60 hours busrides. Might sound awful, but a great way to get another view of this huge country.

Better try Azul!

I would want one where I earn miles in my preferred programs.

[Mr Enternational]

Normally I buy between 4-6 domestic tickets every year for my Brazil trip. I usually buy with LATAM or GOL and it works great to buy online. Yesterday I started to buy some tickets. It's incredible how both LATAM and GOL sites have technical issues when completing a purchase. Finally it worked out, but still a lot of hassle.
