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.
