India to Uruguay visa requirements

Yes. Indian ordinary passport holders need a visa to visit Uruguay for tourism. There is no visa-on-arrival or eVisa for ordinary passports; you must apply in advance at the Embassy of Uruguay in New Delhi. The good news: the visa itself is issued free of charge. A holder of an ordinary Indian passport must obtain a tourist visa before traveling to Uruguay. Uruguay grants visa-free entry to citizens of around 84 jurisdictions, but India is not among them for ordinary passports (only Indian diplomatic and official/service passport holders enjoy a visa waiver). The visa is applied for at the Embassy of Uruguay in India (B-8/3 Vasant Vihar, New Delhi-110057). Uruguay does not charge a visa fee for Indian nationals, though applicants may bear small bank/courier/legalization costs. The standard tourist visa is valid for 90 days, generally issued with multiple entries, and processing typically takes around 5 to 14 working days, so applying 3-4 weeks ahead is advised. Uruguay is in South America and is NOT part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. As of 2026-05-30 there have been no announced changes introducing visa-free, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival access for ordinary Indian passport holders.
