Passport holders of the following 85 jurisdictions can visit Uruguay without a visa for up to 90 days (unless otherwise specified and cannot be extended once).

Remember that although a visa is not required, you must:

Have a passport valid for at least six months after the date of departure from the country and one blank visa page.
Keep confirmation of direct and return flights
Keep all the documents you need for your next destination
Keep documents confirming the purpose of the trip (e.g. cover letter or letter of support, conference registration, etc.)
Keep proof of sufficient funds for the expected length of stay. That is, a bank statement for the last three months, a salary certificate, an international credit card, and the availability of funds on it.

Airline crew members and citizens of any country born in Uruguay also do not need a visa to enter the country.

In addition, holders of diplomatic or official/service passports of some countries also do not need a visa to Uruguay: Albania, Angola, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Cambodia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Morocco, Namibia, Palestine, Suriname, Thailand, Vietnam, China.

A tourist visa is valid for entry into the country for 90 days from the moment of its issuance. A single-entry tourist visa gives the right to stay in the country for no more than 30 days.

The consulate reserves the right to call the applicant for an interview or to request additional documents. If this is the first application for a visa - the submission of documents takes place in person, with an interview with the consul (or an employee of the consulate).

After providing all the above documents, the consular department forwards them together with the request for an entry permit to the immigration service of Uruguay. Waiting for a response takes quite a long time, 25-30 days.

After receiving a positive answer, the applicant (or their representative) must again appear at the consulate and obtain a payment order to pay the consular fee in the bank. The visa is pasted into the passport upon presentation of a receipt for payment of the consular fee on the same or the next day.

The cost is 3 pesos, which is equivalent to 42 dollars (about 35 euros). This administrative fee is payable only if the application is approved and the travel permit is granted.

There is only one case where the visa fee exemption applies. This is when a citizen who has a diplomatic or state passport applies for a visa.
