Uruguay visa for Bangladeshis

Uruguay's Ministry of the Interior admission-visa table marks Bangladesh (ordinary passport) as needing a visa with prior authorisation. Uruguay's foreign ministry says applications go to a Uruguayan consulate abroad, the Migration Directorate authorises the visa, and this usually takes at least 20 business days. We did not find an official page naming the Uruguayan mission that serves Bangladesh (the nearest embassy is believed to be in New Delhi), so that point is marked for confirmation. Last checked 1 November 2026.

Quick answer: Visa needed?: Yes. The Ministry of the Interior table lists Bangladesh (common passport) as needing a visa with prior authorisation.. Where to apply: At a Uruguayan consulate or embassy abroad. We did not verify which mission handles Bangladeshi applicants (likely New Delhi); confirm before sending documents..

How to apply

Official source checked

Uruguay's foreign ministry explains that nationals who need a prior visa apply at a Uruguayan consulate abroad. The consulate states its own requirements, sends the file to the Dirección Nacional de Migración for authorisation, and stamps the visa in the passport once it receives the authorisation in writing.
We found no Uruguayan mission in Dhaka on an official page. Directories mention an honorary consulate in Dhaka and an embassy in New Delhi, but honorary offices may not process visas. Ask our office to confirm the correct mission and its current appointment method before you pay or courier anything.

Total cost

Government visa fee: USD 42, payable only if the visa is granted (official foreign ministry page).
