Uruguay passport holders can typically stay in Colombia for 90 days under the standard entry rules. Longer stays require a separate long-term visa.

90 days – extendable up to 180-days stay within a one-year period. Entry is allowed with a valid Uruguayan identity card that is less than 10 years old. Uruguayans can live and work legally in Colombia under the Mercosur (and Associated Members) 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.

For short business visits like meetings or conferences, Uruguay citizens typically enter Colombia 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 Colombia embassy or consulate.
