About the Embassy of Uruguay in Ecuador
The ambassador is Fernando Sandín Tusso, according to the Uruguayan embassy’s page on gub.uy. Uruguay also has an honorary consulate in Guayaquil.
Do Uruguayan citizens need a visa for Ecuador?
No. Uruguay is not on the Ecuadorian foreign ministry’s list of countries whose nationals need a visa (30 August 2025), so its nationals do not need a visa for a tourist visit to Ecuador.
Documents checklist
The most frequent applications and the documents the Uruguayan authorities ask for:
Renewing a Uruguayan passport abroad
- Request an appointment with the consulate in the way it indicates (e-mail or form)
- Your expired, soon-to-expire or damaged passport and your identity documents
- Some consulates also ask for a recent criminal record certificate from your country of residence, apostilled
- If lost or stolen: a police report from the country where you are
- Passports are printed in Montevideo and sent to the consulate – allow about 20–30 working days
- Emergency passport only exceptionally, if your Uruguayan passport was still valid, and after approval from Uruguay
