Do Uruguayan citizens need a visa for Vietnam?
Yes. Uruguayan citizens with an ordinary passport need a visa for any stay in Vietnam, and the e-visa is the usual route.
Uruguay's row on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs exemption list (published June 30, 2025, checked October 2026) is marked under Diplomatic and under Official/Service/Special, with a 90-day stay. The Ordinary column is empty, and Uruguay is absent from the later 45-day lists.
Press releases from 2023 that welcome Uruguayans to the e-visa refer to the e-visa itself, not to any waiver. For the general rules, see Do I need a visa for Vietnam?

Vietnam visa for Uruguayan citizens: urgent cut-offs in Montevideo time
Standard takes 5 to 7 working days. The urgent speeds use Vietnamese working days, which start at 8:00 in Vietnam, or 22:00 in Montevideo.
| Order cut-off | Montevideo time |
|---|---|
| Same day (Vietnam 14:15) | 4:15 |
| Super Urgent (Vietnam 15:30) | 5:30 |
| Emergency (Vietnam 17:30) | 7:30 |
| 1 working day (Vietnam 18:00) | 8:00 |
Example: you order on Monday at 23:00 in Montevideo, which is 9:00 on Tuesday in Vietnam. Emergency arrives by 0:30 on Tuesday, Super Urgent by 1:30 on Tuesday and Same day by 8:00 on Tuesday, all in Montevideo time. Ordered on Tuesday at 6:00 instead (16:00 in Vietnam), Emergency still arrives by 7:30, but Super Urgent and Same day have passed their cut-offs: Super Urgent arrives on Wednesday at 1:00 and Same day on Wednesday at 4:00.
The weekend window starts at Friday 8:00 in Montevideo and ends on Sunday at 6:00. In that window, order the Weekend and public holidays speed before 5:20 and it arrives by 8:30 the same day. Our urgent e-visa page has every speed in Vietnam time.

Visa on arrival for Uruguayan citizens
Uruguayan citizens can use visa on arrival only when flying into Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang or Cam Ranh. You need an approval letter before you board and pay a $25 or $50 stamping fee at the airport.
It does not work for cruise ports or land borders. For most trips the e-visa is simpler; you can compare both when you choose a service.
Vietnam embassy in Uruguay
You do not need an embassy for an e-visa, which is issued online. For consular help, check the list of Vietnamese missions on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website (mofa.gov.vn) for the one that covers Uruguay.
Tips for Uruguayan travelers
Two points help Uruguayan travelers: reading the exemption list correctly, and ordering at the right hour.
Diplomatic and official passports are different
The 90-day stay on Uruguay's row of the exemption list belongs to diplomatic and official or service passports only. A holder of an ordinary Uruguayan passport needs the e-visa, even if a colleague with an official passport enters without one.
Order in the evening, not the morning
Ordered at 9:00 in the morning in Montevideo, your file reaches Vietnam after every urgent cut-off and starts at 8:00 the next Vietnamese morning, which is 22:00 that evening in Montevideo. Ordered at 22:00 instead, every speed is still open.
eVisaVietnam.com is a private visa service operated by TK VIET NAM., JSC, not the Vietnamese government. You can apply yourself at evisa.gov.vn for US$25. If you want your files checked and a delivery time backed by a full refund, apply for your e-visa with us.
