All travelers must carry a valid passport issued by their country of citizenship and we recommend that it has at least 6 months of remaining validity beyond this trip. Although most students and instructors of the short course are from countries where a tourist visa to Uruguay is not required, we strongly recommend that each person consults in advance with his/her closest Uruguayan consulate about current rules.
