Answer
Prolonged travel while the application is being processed may affect actual-residence requirements and lead to a request for additional documents. Before travelling, check the rules of the selected category and the re-entry procedure with the Dirección Nacional de Migración.
Travel itself is not always prohibited, but it is important to understand the implications for your category: attending appointments, responding to requests, proving residence, and future deadlines may depend on the dates you are absent. Keep tickets and entry and exit stamps.
Before a long trip, use your case number to obtain clear guidance on which documents to take for your return and how the absence will affect the review. Do not miss a scheduled appointment or keep your case formally registered at someone else’s address if you cannot in fact live in Uruguay.
