Uruguay reverts to previous passport version after all
Uruguay's Ministries of the Interior and Foreign Affairs announced on Tuesday that they are reverting to the previous version of the national passport, effective August 1. This decision comes after the new passport format, introduced on April 16, faced difficulties with long-stay visa approvals in several countries, notably Germany and France.
The Government of Uruguay reported that from 1 August it will return to the issue of the “pre-version” of passports for its citizens before the warning from Germany, France and Japan that with the new document, modified in April this year, it would not be possible to enter for long stays.
