Visa requirements for Uruguayan citizens explained

Visa requirements for Uruguayan citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of Uruguay.

As of 15 June 2024, Uruguayan citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 157 countries and territories, ranking the Uruguayan passport 27th, tied with Saint Kitts and Nevis passport in the world according to the Henley Passport Index.[1]

For traveling within South America (except the Guyanas, Suriname, and European dependencies), Uruguayans do not need to use a passport, as they may use their ID card. Naturalised Uruguayan citizens "legal citizens" are currently facing challenges when travelling internationally as their Uruguayan passport and ID card will show country of birth as "nationality" causing challenges when travelling.

Visa requirements

Visa requirements for holders of normal passports traveling for tourist purposes:

Uruguay is a full member of Mercosur. As such, its citizens enjoy unlimited access to any of the other full members (Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay) and associated members (Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru) with the right to residence and work, with no requirement other than nationality.

Citizens of these 9 countries (including Uruguay) may apply for the grant of "temporary residence" for up to 2 years in another country of the bloc.[2] Then, they may apply for "permanent residence" just before the term of their "temporary residence" expires.[3] [4]
