Hi @verbal bison. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
There’s no published timeline in the knowledge sources for when Sora 2 will be available in Brazil or other new countries.
What is documented today:
- Sora 1 on the web (sora.chatgpt.com) is available in all OpenAI API–supported countries and territories, which includes Brazil. [Sora supported; API countries]
- Sora 2 (the new model) and the Sora app are currently supported only in a specific set of countries and regions on web and mobile: Argentina, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Panamá, Paraguay, Perú, Taiwan, Thailand, United States, Uruguay, and Vietnam. Brazil is not yet on this list. [Sora 2 countries]
- OpenAI states that availability “will then expand,” but no dates or order of expansion are given. [Sora app FAQ]
So, based on the available information, there is no confirmed date for Sora 2’s launch in Brazil or other additional countries. To track changes, you’d need to periodically check the Sora App and Sora 2 supported countries page and the Sora app FAQ. [Sora 2 countries; Sora app FAQ]

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
Using a VPN to access Sora 2 from a country that is not on the supported list is not allowed under OpenAI’s policies.
OpenAI explicitly states that:
- You may not “access or offer access to the Services outside of the Supported Countries and Territories,” and violations can result in suspension of services. [Services Agreement]
- For Sora 2 and the Sora app, only specific countries are currently supported (Argentina, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Panamá, Paraguay, Perú, Taiwan, Thailand, United States, Uruguay, Vietnam). Accessing from outside these locations “may result in your account being blocked or suspended.” [Sora 2 countries]
- More generally, accessing or offering access to OpenAI services from unsupported countries can lead to your account being blocked or suspended. [Unsupported countries]
Because of this, using a VPN to appear as if you are in a supported country, when you are not, would go against these rules and risks your account being blocked or suspended.

@ember spade why is against services
ember spadeBOT
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
OpenAI’s terms and help articles say you must not access or offer access to services from outside the officially supported countries and territories. Violating this can lead to your account being limited, blocked, or suspended. [Services Agreement; API supported countries]
Specifically:
- The OpenAI Services Agreement states that customers and end users “may not access or offer access to the Services outside of the Supported Countries and Territories,” and that violating this can result in suspension. [Services Agreement]
- The supported-countries pages for ChatGPT, the API, and Sora all warn that accessing or offering access from outside the listed regions may result in your account being blocked or suspended. [ChatGPT supported countries; Sora 2 countries]
The documents do not go into detailed reasons, but they make clear that geographic limits are part of the contract and policy you agree to when using the services.
