The Ministry of Foreign Affairs - General Directorate for Consular Affairs and Liaison - together with the Ministry of the Interior - National Directorate of Migration (DNM) - are the Secretariats of State responsible for the control and orderly flow of migration, and have developed a series of facilitating mechanisms to which foreign citizens who are required to obtain visas may apply.
The following mechanisms imply a reduction in the required documents and deadlines, and are applied on an exceptional basis when dealing with persons who are invited by national or international governmental institutions, or are participants in Trade Fairs, Conferences, Congresses, Workshops, which have Declarations of Ministerial Interest or similar.
Regarding the facilitation of business between private parties and attraction of foreign investment, this Directorate General has developed strategic agreements with other governmental institutions that are listed as guarantors of the application, namely: General Directorate for International Economic Affairs, -MRREE-, UruguayXXI Agency, -Global Services Program- and the National Agency for Research and Innovation, -ANII-.
Cuti in partnership with the General Directorate of Consular Affairs communicates and makes these instruments available to its members.
