When calculating the amount, you can add the average daily cost of 60-70 dollars for each day you indicate that you will be staying in the country with the price of your ticket and hotel reservations and expect a little higher than the figure you received.
If your expenses are covered by the institution that invited you, this must be mentioned in the invitation letter. In this case, you may not provide a statement from your bank account, but in any case it is advisable to show a small amount in your account in your name.
If you are an entrepreneur, you can submit the documents that will replace the certificate from the workplace (a copy of the TIN, a certificate issued by the Ministry of Taxes about your turnover) to the embassy. If you are not working, studying or in any case sponsoring another person to cover the costs of your trip, in this case a copy of that person's identity card, proof of employment (if self-employed, the documents listed above), proof of bank account and statement (this bank account can be both in your name and in the name of the sponsor), if you have a family bond, a document confirming this (for example, if it is a parent, your own birth certificate, if it is a brother or sister, both of your birth certificates, etc.) and a paper about sponsorship to the embassy must be presented.

Visa Procedure
Citizens of Azerbaijan apply for a Uruguayan visa at the Uruguayan embassy in Moscow.
The scanned version of the documents should be sent via email first. If the visa is approved, the applicant must go to the Uruguayan embassy in Moscow with his passport and original documents. The visa fee is 42 USD and is paid through a bank located in Moscow. The visa result is usually available in 15-25 working days. In some special cases, it may be possible to cancel personal attendance and send documents by courier by contacting the embassy in advance.
When applying for a visa for the purpose of a business trip, an invitation letter on an official letterhead must also be submitted. On the certificate from the workplace, who will cover the expenses and the purpose of the trip should be mentioned.
The possibility of getting a Uruguayan visa
As when applying for a visa at the embassy of all countries, your chances of getting a visa in Uruguay depend on the state of your profile. Your workplace and position should be normal, your monthly income should be in the standard salary range (in experience, visas have been obtained for people with a monthly income of 300-500 AZN, there have been many cases), you should show enough money in your bank account to cover your entire trip, the nuances that bind you to the country (having property in your name) , the presence of your family and children) and your travel history are factors that increase your chances of getting a Uruguayan visa. The Uruguayan embassy is not considered a high-risk embassy for people with no previous travel history, that is, without Schengen or other visa holders. In our experience, there were many applicants who got their first visas from this embassy. Of course, for this, all your other documents must be in order. When applying for a business visa, the official letter of invitation you will present can increase your chances of getting a visa. If the purpose and reason for the trip stated in your invitation letter is related to your field of work or if you have made similar business trips before, these nuances will have a positive impact on your profile.
