Indonesia to Uruguay visa requirements

Yes, Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a consular visa to visit Uruguay for tourism. There is no visa-free entry, no visa on arrival, and no eVisa for Indonesian citizens. Apply in advance at a Uruguayan embassy or consulate; the application is authorized by Uruguay's National Migration Directorate (DNM) and can take several weeks. As of June 2026, Indonesia is not on Uruguay's list of visa-exempt jurisdictions for ordinary passports, so holders of an Indonesian ordinary passport must obtain a tourist (entry) visa before traveling. Only holders of Indonesian diplomatic or official/service passports are exempt (up to 30 days). Uruguay does not operate an electronic visa (eVisa), visa on arrival, or ETA scheme, and it is not part of the Schengen area. The tourist visa is applied for at the nearest Uruguayan diplomatic mission (the Embassy of Uruguay accredited to Indonesia is in Tokyo/regional, with other consulates handling applications), and each application must be authorized by the Direccion Nacional de Migracion (DNM) in Montevideo. Typical consular fees run roughly USD 42-54, and authorization can take from about 20 business days up to around 60 days, so travelers should apply well ahead. If granted, the visa generally allows a 90-day stay (extendable by a further 90 days) and is valid for 180 days from issuance. Travelers should confirm exact requirements and fees directly with the responsible Uruguayan mission before applying, as consular details vary by post.
