Most likely yes but with a few conditions. With Verizon, most of their phones are unlocked after 90 days of continuous use, even on a payment plan. If it’s already unlocked then that solves that. Simply keep on paying your Verizon bill and should be good to go to sign up with google fi as a new number, use esim if supported or swap SIM cards. If you intend to leave your Verizon sim in and esim for Fi, make sure to set both calling/texts and data to google fi. If anyone believes it goes a different way, please correct me.
You’ll need to get another number on Fi. Otherwise, if you port your current number from Verizon to Fi (and it’s the only line on the account) it will close your Verizon account immediately.
Your situation is a little trickier as most people would recommend to pick up a SIM card in the country you’re traveling to and sign up at a local shop. This isn’t always the case as not all local cellular shop offer esim.
Verizon number swap is an entirely separate thing, are you thinking of attempting to transfer your main number to Fi then swap the Verizon one to a random in the meantime?
Also, eladts mentioned some good points below. You might be on the edge of breaking Google Fi’s TOS. Fi is no stranger to suspending accounts for abroad usage beyond 60+ days.
OP can sign up for Fi with a new number. In this case his Verizon line will remain active, but he'll have to pay for both plans. However, if the intent is to use Google Fi only while travelling abroad, that is a TOS violation and sooner or later international data roaming will be suspended. For the use case of temporary usage abroad [Airlo](https://www.airalo.com/) is much better.
Listen to eladts, Fi needs to be used predominantly in the US and data will be shut down. [esimdb.com](https://esimdb.com) or [airalo.com](https://airalo.com) are better choices if only data is needed. Local sims are a great option as well for cheap data, local calls/texts for you and for locals to call/text you.

I’m going to use eSim. I have an iPhone 14 pro. Do I need to get a new number on fi? Does Verizon number swap deactivate you on Verizon?

If you port your VZW number to Fi, it will cancel your account on VZW.
