No visa needed, but be prepared
Uruguayans get 90 days visa-free. The main things that trip people up: passport validity (6 months from entry), a return ticket, and proof of accommodation. Have these ready and you'll breeze through.
Overstaying is not worth it
There's no extension option. If you overstay even by a day, you risk a fine and a note on your record that could affect future travel to Trinidad and Tobago or other Caribbean nations.

Frequently asked questions
No. The visa-free entry is not extendable. You must leave before 90 days are up. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban.
Trinidad and Tobago requires yellow fever vaccination if you're arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever transmission. Uruguay is not on that list, so you don't need it unless you've recently been in an affected country. Check the WHO list before travel.
You will likely be denied boarding by the airline or refused entry by immigration. Renew your passport before traveling.
Yes, the same visa-free rules apply for sea arrivals. You'll still need a valid passport and return ticket. The immigration process happens at the port of entry.
No. Trinidad and Tobago does not require an arrival declaration for Uruguayan passport holders. You just show your passport and ticket at the counter.
You cannot extend the visa-free stay. You would need to leave and re-enter, but immigration may question frequent back-to-back visits. For longer stays, apply for a visa or residence permit before traveling.
Not officially required, but it's wise to have a credit card or some cash (USD or TTD) to cover your stay. Immigration rarely asks, but it can help if questioned.
