That’s a different situation (int'l to domestic connection). She would be wise to pre-check in online/via the Gol app. She’ll have to go through immigration and customs. The first question is whether she’s a Brazilian national: if so, she’ll clear immigration much more quickly as she’d be able to go through the e-gates by scanning her passport. Once past customs, the walk to T2 is not that long (maybe 15-20 mins at a brisk pace, and with help from the moving walkways), and without bags to check, she can just head to domestic departures and reach her gate up to 20 mins before the scheduled departure time.
I reckon she’ll be at the gate around 9:15am, assuming no delays.

Thanks for the tips!

It is not a "couple of miles" between the terminals if you connect int'l to int'l (staying airside all the time).
We landed in T3 AF from Paris and then took Aerolinias Argentinas to Buenos Aires from T2
Yes, there's a longish corridor between T3 and T2 but all we marched was something like 15 minutes, a km or so, not a mile or a "couple of miles". :-)

I have two options for my upcoming EU-GRU-BOG flights. GRU-BOG is on Avianca (Business) which departs T2. Both EU-GRU options arrive T3... either Lufthansa (First) with a 2h0m connection or Swiss (First) with a 1h15m connection. Is the T3 to T2 walk still 15 minutes or so and is there any security check along the way?
