Posts: 112COVID testing in SP
Most but not all pharmacy / drug stores test for covid. Testing locations usually have large signs reading "covid teste aqui" posted in front of the store. My experience is that no appt is necessary. Ymmv.

Posts: 723Fast SP Covid Tests
Getting Covid tested before flying to Brazil from the USA is not my concern. I have done it twice this year. No problema. But Uncle Joe's new 24 hour test requirement in order to return to the USA is. I booked an American Airlines Sunday evening flight back to MIA before the new requirement was announced. I know I can get tested at GRU on the day of departure, but who wants to go to the airport 4.5 hours before boarding? Anybody have another solution, or should I change my flight to a weeknight departure?

Posts: 134Regarding SIM and phone matters, one of the easiest solutions (for USA residents) is to get a GoogleFi SIM card at home before traveling. Very affordable. Coverage in all of the Americas and beyond, works upon landing. Be sure to activate the SIM while in the USA.

Posts: 38Re: SIM card difficulty Sao Paulo.
Thanks for the timely info. My biggest nightmare is to have to waste valuable time acquiring the SIM. I will make a note of El Dorado Mall and Vivo and bring my passport.

There is a very large food and department store on the first floor of El Dorado mall with a small phone store in the corner. That's actually where I was heading on a suggestion by the TIM store rep that they could set me up without a CPF. I just happened to pass the Vivo store on the way so stopped there first and glad I did.

Posts: 38SIM cards and Sao Paulo.
Vagabundo1 provides excellent info but I'm wondering if this advice applies to Sao Paulo as well as Rio? I usually take my own phone from the US when I travel. But I'm on a no contract month to month so I can't purchase any international travel plan with Verizon. My phone will work with CDMA or GSM. I've used it like this in Mexico. I guess I'm trying to figure out if I need to get the CPF or can I do what he advises to do in Rio?
SIM Chips, follow up on 116.
SIM Chips.
Phone / Getting a Sim " chippee": Go to Central. Buy the Vivo, as it apparently gets better signal. Then you can charge the number "recarga" at any pharma, kiosk, etc, in order to keep your chip charged. You can also get chips for Tim, claro, etc. The cost is 10 reais, or 17 reais. Tell them you do not have a CPF, and that you want them to "cadastrar". You will see any number of women or sometimes men walking around with little trays with Tim, Claro, or Vivo. Getting a Brazilian number is key for game on zap, which is to say, essential.
