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.

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.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2614875]Better try Azul![/QUOTE]I would want one where I earn miles in my preferred programs.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2614875]Better try Azul![/QUOTE]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.

Hello,

Sorry if this is wrong area, I got to Rio to monger for first time in Rio.

[QUOTE=Nounce;2601454]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.[/QUOTE]

I know our dearly admin hates me for asking this, but could you be more precise in what you need and I will happily help you?

At Christian G: Send an e-mail to 'RF08-CPF residente no exterior-CxCorp' at [EMAIL]cpf.residente.exterior@rfb.gov.br[/EMAIL] and include in your correspondence the copy of your request with assigned number, a selfie of yourself with your document (like passport) and a legible copy of this document on your selfie (passport). They say now the process takes 10 days because of a backlog.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2612099]That is good news. No longer need to worry about the PCR. Can just take a cheaper home antigen test the day before.[/QUOTE]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.
