The permitted stay for Brazil citizens in Uruguay depends on the visa type granted at entry. Confirm exact length with the Uruguay embassy or consulate before traveling.

Entry is allowed with a valid ID card that is less than 10 years old. Brazilians can live and work legally in Uruguay under the Mercosur (and Associated Countries) immigration agreement with no requirement other than being a citizen at birth or a naturalized citizen for over 5 years, and passing a background check. Brazilians may request lawful permanent resident status in Uruguay at any time.

For short business visits like meetings or conferences, Brazil citizens typically enter Uruguay under the same rules as tourists. For paid work, long assignments, or activities beyond what a tourist visa allows, a dedicated business or work visa is required. Confirm specifics with the Uruguay embassy or consulate.
