  • Latin America and Brazil: no. The model sold there is the SM-A366E, without eSIM.
  • What matters is the model number, not where you are now: an A36 bought in Europe still has eSIM in Mexico, and one bought in Mexico doesn’t have it in Europe.

Requirement: the phone must be unlocked

As well as having eSIM, the phone must be carrier-unlocked. If you bought it from an operator and it’s locked, it may not accept an eSIM from another company: ask them before you travel.
