Cheap flights from Perth (PER) to Sao Paulo (GRU)

Perth to São Paulo flights link Western Australia with Brazil's largest city and its main gateway for business and connections across South America. This is one of the longest routes Traveloka lists — there's no nonstop flight, and it takes some patience to get there, but comparing your connecting options makes the trip much easier to plan.

Where is the airport in São Paulo?

São Paulo–Guarulhos International Airport (GRU) is around 25 kilometres from downtown São Paulo and is Brazil's main international gateway. Airport buses, taxis and ride-hailing apps all run into the city, though traffic can add significant time to the journey.

Visa and passport requirements for Australians flying to São Paulo

As of April 2025, Brazil reintroduced visa requirements for Australians — you'll need to apply for an eVisa online before you travel; it's no longer visa-free or available on arrival. Apply well ahead of your trip and keep a copy of your approval to show on arrival. Your passport should be valid for at least six months beyond your planned stay. Smartraveller currently advises exercising a high degree of caution in Brazil, largely due to the risk of violent crime — including armed robbery — and recent warnings about drink spiking and methanol poisoning at bars and nightlife venues. Stick to well-reviewed venues, keep a close eye on your drinks, and avoid displaying valuables in public.

São Paulo runs on Brasília Time (UTC-3) year-round — Brazil stopped observing daylight saving in 2019. Perth, at UTC+8, is 11 hours ahead of São Paulo, one of the largest time differences you'll find on any route out of Australia.
