And Terry Gilliam had it right when he picked Brazil.
I was categorically told that a Brazilian social security number/national insurance number ("CPF") would not be needed unless I was hoping to become resident.

The local ticket office suggested I get one arranged through my embassy, 500km away, and it should be issued in a working week + a few days for postage.
