About this Visa
This visa lets you visit Uruguay for business. You can attend meetings, make business deals, or explore investing. You're not allowed to work for money on this visa—it's just for doing business activities. You can use this visa to visit multiple times during its 6-month period. Many countries (like USA, Canada, EU, Australia) don't even need this visa—they can visit for free for 90 days. But if your country isn't on that list, you need to apply for this business visa. The visa takes about 3 weeks to get. The cost is around $50-53 USD depending on where you apply.
