Israel to Uruguay visa requirements

Q: How long can I stay in Uruguay without a visa?

Up to 90 days. You can request an extension of an additional 90 days at the Dirección Nacional de Migración (DNM) before your initial period expires.

Q: Is there an entry or visa fee?

No. Visa-free tourist entry to Uruguay is free of charge. Only an optional stay extension may carry an administrative fee.

Q: Do I need an eVisa, ETA, or ETIAS for Uruguay?

No. Uruguay does not operate an eVisa or ETA for Israeli tourists, and ETIAS applies only to Europe's Schengen area, not Uruguay.

Q: What documents should I carry on arrival?

A valid Israeli passport, a return or onward ticket, and ideally proof of accommodation and sufficient funds. Six months' passport validity beyond your stay is recommended.

Q: Can I work in Uruguay on this visa-free entry?

No. Visa-free entry is for tourism and business visits only. Working requires the appropriate residence/work authorization.

Israeli ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourism in Uruguay. You may enter visa-free and stay for up to 90 days, which can be extended for an additional 90 days at Uruguay's immigration authority (DNM). Uruguay grants visa-free entry to holders of Israeli ordinary passports for tourism and business purposes. The standard permitted stay is 90 days within a 180-day period, and this can be extended once for a further 90 days by applying to the Dirección Nacional de Migración (DNM) inside Uruguay. Uruguay is in South America and is NOT part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to entering Uruguay. To enter, travelers should carry a passport valid for the duration of stay (six months' validity beyond intended stay is the safe, widely-advised standard), proof of onward or return travel, and evidence of sufficient funds and accommodation. No advance visa, eVisa, or electronic travel authorization is currently required as of mid-2026. No fee applies for visa-free tourist entry. Always confirm with your airline and the nearest Uruguayan consulate before departure, as policies can change.
