How to go

VISA AND OTHER PROCEDURES

Portuguese citizens, Brazilians who wish to stay in the country for up to 90 days, do not need a tourist visa. At the time this text was created, Brazilian citizens or citizens from other MERCOSUR countries could enter the country showing only their identity cards.

HEALTH CARE

There is no health care scare in Uruguay. Only hepatitis A and tetanus vaccines are recommended as they are for most countries in the world.
