Uruguay — Visa & Airports

US, UK, EU, Canadian and Australian passports enter visa-free for 90 days, extendable once at the Dirección Nacional de Migración. Carrasco (MVD) is the main gateway, with direct flights to Madrid, US hubs, Panama and regional capitals; Punta del Este (PDP) sees seasonal traffic in the December-February summer. Many visitors arrive by ferry from Buenos Aires via Colonia del Sacramento or direct to Montevideo — immigration for both countries is handled at the departure terminal.
