How much money do you need to enter Uruguay in 2026?

In 2026, there is no fixed minimum amount of money required for tourist entry into Uruguay. During border control, you may be asked to provide proof of sufficient funds to stay in the country.

Cash and monetary instruments exceeding the equivalent of USD 10,000 must be declared upon entry.

What to do if your foreign passport is about to expire

As of October 29, 2025, Ukraine has abolished the military rule that allowed foreign passports to be extended and information about children to be added to them. Now, only valid biometric passports are accepted for travel abroad.

Therefore, if your document has been “extended” or information about children has been added to it, you need to apply for a new biometric passport.

Where can you apply for a new passport?

• In Ukraine — at the offices of the State Migration Service, CNAAs, or branches of the State Enterprise “Document”.
• Abroad — at embassies or consulates of Ukraine, as well as at branches of the State Enterprise “Document”, if they operate in your country.

If you are abroad and have an “extended” passport

If the border service of another country does not allow you to leave or does not accept the document when entering Ukraine, contact the nearest embassy or consulate of Ukraine.

There you can obtain an identity card for return to Ukraine (the so-called “white passport”). It is issued on the day of application — free of charge for children under 16 and for a consular fee for adults.
