Getting a CPF number in Sao Paulo 2026 as a foreigner
fwiw the address bit matters more than people say. you can use a friend's place or even a hotel, but teh Receita folks at the Sao Paulo office sometimes want a comprovante. get ur CPF online through the e-CPF portal first if u can, it saves a trip.
e-CPF portal changed last year, check it
honestly the comprovante thing tripped me up too. i've seen them accept a rental contract in someone else's name if you're staying with friends, though it prob depends on the atendente. keep a printed copy either way.
Consulate first, address not needed.
Starting at the consulate is fine but the CPF only activates once Receita Federal stamps it here, so plan a visit anyway.
Novo Sabor prices for tourists in Sao Paulo 2026
Cash only, and go before 1pm.
tbh I'd show up even earlier, the queue gets silly by noon on weekdays
yeah and the ATM on the corner runs out by noon
They stop seating at 2:30, so don't cut it too close.
Good to know, and if you're doing quilo aim for closer to 2 so you're not rushed at the scale.
Weekend lines start way before 1
Novo Sabor isn't really a tourist spot, so you'll pay menu prices like everyone else, expect around R$40-60 for a prato feito at lunch.
Sounds right, the comida por quilo is the better deal
Check if they add the 10% servico on top, that's the bit that catches visitors out. Card machines sometimes offer to convert to your home currency, always pick reais, the conversion rate is terrible.
the servico thing is real but ask first, some places drop it if u say you're paying cash. also watch the couvert, they bring bread and olives without asking and it lands on teh bill.
