What the Uruguay visa rules mean for Germany travellers
Germany citizens can enter Uruguay without a visa and stay for up to 90 days. You only need a valid Germany passport at the border; immigration officers may still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay. The 90-day limit usually counts calendar days from your arrival, so book your return flight inside that window.
Documents to prepare
Whatever your visa status, Uruguay applies the same entry conditions to every traveller:
- Passport validity: The UK government says your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay and have at least one blank page for an entry stamp. Uruguay's Foreign Ministry says visa applicants need a passport valid for at least 6 …
- Blank passport pages: Your passport needs at least 1 blank page.
- Vaccinations: Yellow fever: The US CDC says Uruguay's country entry requirements do not require the yellow fever vaccine.
- Travel insurance: No official source we could read states a travel insurance requirement for Uruguay; the Foreign Ministry's visa requirements do not include insurance.
