The cruise industry brings together workers of different nationalities who live and work while travelling through different countries and ports. During a port call, it may be necessary to locate the diplomatic or consular representation of a worker’s country of nationality to request information, guidance or assistance.
Consular representations are one possible point of contact for people who are outside their home country. However, their responsibilities, services, opening hours and forms of assistance vary. The guidance and support available depend on each representation, the situation involved and the procedures established by the country concerned.
How can you find a consular representation in Uruguay?
Uruguay’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs publishes a list of foreign consular offices in the country. There, you can find the available information for each representation.

Foreign Consulates in Uruguay – Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Before visiting, we recommend contacting the relevant representation directly to confirm its contact details, opening hours and the type of assistance it can provide.
The inclusion of a consular representation on the list does not mean that it provides every type of service or can intervene in every situation. Each worker can decide whether to make contact, when to do so and which means of communication to use, according to her circumstances and needs.
From Flower at Sea we share this information to help make the resources available during port calls in Montevideo and other Uruguayan ports more visible and accessible.
Information accessed in October 2026. Details may change, so we recommend always checking the information on the official website of Uruguay’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs or directly with the relevant representation.
