  • Travel Advisories: Always check the latest travel advisories from your government and the Uruguayan Ministry of Foreign Affairs for any specific warnings or requirements.
  • Extension Options: Extensions of stay within Uruguay may be possible by applying to the Dirección Nacional de Migración (National Directorate of Migration) before your visa expires. This is not guaranteed and requires valid reasons and documentation.
