Hi Karen
Kind of a dumb question but when you say health insurance, I’m assuming our regular coverage here in the states will be sufficient. Or do we need travel health insurance two different things. Some countries actually do require that…
You’re right! — K
When I click on the link it says the health declaration form cannot be found. Is this requirement still valid?
Sorry Johannes, I thought we had updated this. As you so rightly deduce, it’s no longer required.
Hola, cuanto es el mimo de días para la cobertura de salud que exige Uruguay
Hola Blanca, como estas? Supongo que sera el tiempo que te vayas a quedar. Pero mejor consultes a la pagina del Ministerio de Turismo. Saludos! Karen
Qué requisitos necesita un médico peruano para trabajar en uruguay
Hola Ruth, pregunté a mi primo quien es medico y recien hizo lo mismo. Su respuesta para ti: Debe revalidar su título de médico en la Universidad de la República UDELAR. En la página de la Facultad están los requisitos para el trámite.Suele ser bastante rápido y expeditivo. — Saludos, Karen
If my vaccine has been more than 9 months, can I enter Uruguay? Thanks
That’s a good question, Judy, and one that I don’t feel qualified to answer… my impulse is that if that is the minimum your country requires from you, that should be fine for Uruguay. But you should check with your airline. Best, Karen
If you had covid in the last 90 days and can prove it with a positive result but you are also unvaccinated will this be accepted?
I think that is what my article is saying…?
Thank you! this is exact what I need
So happy to help! — Karen
So happy to hear that!
Bonjour est ce que l attestation complémentaire santé (cmu) de la sécurité sociale suffit pour entrer à uruguay ? Merci
If that provides you with international travel insurance, then I would assume that yes. Best wishes, Karen
