Bangladesh passport holders: Multiple entry for Uruguay. Fee: USD 42 (~USD 42). Processing: 4-6 weeks. Indicative only — always verify with the official mission before applying.
Overview
Reconfirmed via Uruguay's Ministry of the Interior official 'Régimen de visas de admisión' table (published 19/08/2025, the current version as of today): Bangladesh ordinary passport holders 'Necesita Visa (5)' — visa required, with footnote (5) = 'Necesita autorización previa' (requires prior authorization in addition to the standard visa). This is a newly-identified nuance not previously captured. Could not independently reconfirm the current USD 42 fee figure via a live source this session.
Visa types: Confirmed still visa-required for ordinary Bangladeshi passports, and additionally requires prior authorization ('autorización previa') per Ministry of Interior — this authorization step was not previously documented. Diplomatic/official passport rules differ and were not the focus of this check (ordinary passport holders only, per task scope).
