What brand and model of phone do you plan to be using?

If the eSIM-capable phone is carrier unlocked — such that you can change domestic mobile phone subscription operators’ SIMs and still have the phone connect for calls/data with a new service provider — then it should be possible to add a foreign carrier eSIM for use instead of (or sometimes in addition to) the primary SIM/eSIM.
