Do Uruguayans Need an eVisa?

Yes. While Uruguayans do not require a traditional sticker visa for short tourism stays, they are required to hold a valid Travel Authorisation. This digital permit is checked by airlines before boarding and by immigration on arrival.

Documentation Checklist

Please gather the following digital files before starting your application:

• Valid Uruguayan passport (valid for 6+ months).
• High-resolution facial photograph.
• Confirmed lodging details (hotel or guest house).
• Proof of outward travel (return flight ticket).

General Stay Permissions

Most permits are issued based on the length of your stay mentioned in your itinerary. It is vital to consult the validity guidelines to ensure your travel dates align with local regulations. The permit is typically for one-time entry.

Categories of Travel Permits

Holiday Stay

For those visiting the islands for tourism or visiting family.

Professional Trip

For individuals attending seminars or trade shows.

Crew/Transit

For short layovers or maritime staff changes.

Fee Structure

The cost varies significantly. It depends on your specific nationality, the purpose of your visit, and how quickly you need the document processed. For a breakdown of current charges, visit the cost calculation page.

Review Timelines

There are three main speeds for processing your request:

The Application Form

The form is simple and completed online. You will enter your flight number, passport details, and health status. After uploading your documents, you pay the fee via a secure gateway to finalise the request.

How to Monitor Progress

You can check your status at any time. Simply enter your passport number and the reference ID provided in your confirmation email. This allows you to see if the authorities require any additional documents.

Common Application Errors

Errors often stem from uploading blurry passport copies. Another common mistake is providing a hotel booking that does not cover the full duration of the stay. Ensure your flight dates match your accommodation dates perfectly.

Permit Extension Procedures

If you decide to stay longer in the Seychelles, you must visit the Immigration Office in Victoria. You will need to bring your current permit, passport, and proof of funds. It is best to apply for an extension before your current stay expires to avoid fines.

Tips for a Smooth Process

Use a high-quality camera for your selfie. Ensure your passport scan shows the machine-readable zone clearly. Always review the document requirements one last time before clicking submit.
