Step 3
Read the entire approval notice: identity, dates, entry deadline and conditions. Keep it available offline. Do not assume the visa starts on your preferred date.
Step 4

Step 5
Attend DNM personally with passport, ID photo, residence and certificate fees, and a Uruguayan vaccination certificate/homologation. Bring an interpreter if needed. Then take authenticated birth certificate and residence certificate to DNIC and confirm its current fee.
Confirm applicable work/residence authorization and duration with Sydney under current procedure.
