Japan, Thailand, Spain and the United States all sit in this bundle, so a trip that moves between them can run on one eSIM. Fly from Tokyo to Bangkok, or Madrid to Barcelona, and you keep one eSIM rather than swapping SIMs at each border.

Your Global eSIM in two questions
Which Global eSIM plan fits your route?
Japan, Thailand and Spain can sit on one trip, so your days and your data decide the plan.
- Three days in Japan: For standard use, pick 5 GB for 30 days, about 2.1 GB in all. Land at Narita or Haneda, then use GO or Uber in Tokyo, and LINE for messages.
- Two weeks across Japan and Thailand: Standard use suits 10 GB for 30 days, about 9.8 GB in all. Fly from Tokyo to Bangkok, then book a Grab or Bolt ride, and use LINE to message hotels.
- A month across Japan, Thailand and Spain: Standard use suits 20 GB for 30 days, about 21 GB in all. In Spain, book rides with Uber, Cabify, Bolt or FREENOW, and message with WhatsApp.
- Spain only: If Spain is your only stop, the Spain eSIM suits that trip on its own.
This bundle also covers Armenia, Central African Republic, Guam, Guinea-Bissau and Mauritius, which the other Global bundle doesn't.
