## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — Uruguay: named ordinary passports visa-free** (Visa-free)
  The Ministry of Interior’s current common-passport schedule expressly marks these passport issuers as not needing a visa for temporary admission. This is a visa-free baseline, not an eVisa, ETA or visa-on-arrival route.
  - The schedule is limited to the ordinary/common-passport column. Passport type, purpose, activity and duration footnotes remain applicable.
  - For South Korea, Dominica, Guyana, Latvia, Russia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, the no-visa treatment is tourist-only or subject to prior consultation for work or stays beyond the stated period; this candidate records only the short visitor baseline.
  - Malaysia has 30-day temporary admission without a visa. Hong Kong is covered only for passports marked HKSAR, which directly matches the catalog’s HKSAR passport. Macao is expressly exempt for its common passport and travel document.
  - No eVisa, ETA or visa-on-arrival route is identified by the cited nationality schedule. Residence, work, study, transit, crew, diplomatic, official, service, refugee, stateless, third-country-document and final-admission cases are excluded.
