Guide last updated October 25, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • HKSAR passport valid for the duration of the stay
  • Confirmed return or onward ticket
  • Proof of accommodation
  • Evidence of sufficient funds
  • No visa, e-visa or biometrics required for visa-free entry
  • Travel health insurance recommended

Visa types

  • No advance visa is needed since entry is visa-free for tourism and business visits of up to 90 days. Work, study or residence require a separate permit applied for through Uruguay's National Immigration Directorate (Direccion Nacional de Migracion) after or before arrival depending on category.

Entry conditions

  • Up to 90 days permitted per visit for tourism or short business activity
  • No paid employment allowed under visa-free entry
  • Must show return/onward ticket and accommodation proof if requested at Carrasco International Airport
  • A one-time extension of up to 90 additional days can be requested at the Direccion Nacional de Migracion before the initial period expires

Fees & processing time

  • No visa fee applies for the visa-free entry; airport immigration processing is typically quick. An extension application at the immigration directorate carries a modest administrative fee and is generally processed within a few days to two weeks.

Tips for Hong Kong travelers

  • Carry printed proof of onward travel and accommodation for Carrasco Airport immigration checks
  • If extending your stay, apply at the Direccion Nacional de Migracion in Montevideo before your original 90 days lapse
  • Uruguay has no consulate in Hong Kong, so visa and consular questions are usually directed to its regional embassy
  • Spanish is the primary language used in official forms and signage, so carrying translated key documents can help
