Why applications on this route get refused

Weak or insufficient financial proof
Unclear or missing bank statements raise doubts about your ability to support the trip.
How to avoid it: Provide a clear, recent bank statement showing sufficient funds, plus employment or income proof.
Incomplete documentation
Requirements and fees vary somewhat by consulate, a missing document specific to your processing post is a common cause of delay.
How to avoid it: Confirm the exact requirements and fee with the specific Uruguayan consulate you'll apply through.
