UK ETA for Uruguay Citizens

Traveling from Uruguay to the UK: what the ETA means for your trip

UK ETA for Uruguay Nationals

Uruguay has been on the UK ETA list since 8 January 2025, so a Uruguayan passport holder visiting the United Kingdom needs an ETA first. It is a digital authorization that is checked against the passport you travel with.

We offer it with Regular Processing at $60 (3 working days) or Express Processing at $90 (12-36 hours). Both are quoted in US dollars, and each traveler on a booking must have a separate application and fee.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I only transit through a UK airport?

If you will pass through UK border control on your way to another country, you need an ETA. If you are unsure, check with your airline.

Can I use my ETA for a business trip?

Yes. Meetings, conferences and similar business visits are allowed, but working for a UK company is not.

When does my ETA stop being valid?

After 2 years, or when the passport you applied with expires if that comes first.

Can I benefit from public funds during my stay?

No. Visitors on an ETA cannot claim public funds such as benefits.
