Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| E-visa for LiberiaYou cannot get a visa on arrival; you must have the e-visa approved before you fly. Apply before travel | Uruguayan citizens must obtain an e-visa prior to arrival. Apply online through the official Liberia immigration e-visa portal, pay the fee, and receive an approved e-visa by email. Print a copy to present upon arrival. | Required |
| Passport validityIf your passport expires sooner, renew it before traveling. At least 6 months | Your Uruguayan passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of departure from Liberia. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesThe blank page must be free of any markings or stamps. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must contain at least one blank visa/stamp page for entry and exit stamps. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketHave a printed or digital copy of your flight itinerary ready. Proof of departure | Immigration may require proof of a return or onward ticket showing departure from Liberia within the allowed stay period. | Required |
| Proof of fundsThis is not always checked, but it's wise to have proof just in case. Sufficient for stay | Be prepared to show evidence of sufficient funds (cash, bank statement, or credit card) to cover your stay in Liberia. | Recommended |
| Yellow fever vaccination certificateCheck if your itinerary includes any yellow-fever-risk countries before departure. Required for entry | A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for travelers arriving from countries with risk of yellow fever transmission. Uruguay is not a risk country, but if you have traveled through a risk country, you must present the certificate. | Required |
| Arrival declarationYou do not need to fill out any online or paper arrival declaration. Not required | No arrival declaration form is required for entry into Liberia. | Not required |
Yellow fever certificate is non-negotiable
Liberia strictly enforces the yellow fever vaccination requirement. Without the certificate, you'll be turned away at the airport — no exceptions.
