Immigration and Customs are very easy and hassle-free if clearing in at Colonia.
The Prefecture office is located next to the Buquebus terminal, about a 10 minute walk from Colonia yacht harbor. The friendly officials will process your paperwork for free in about 10 minutes, and your boat will then have nine months to enjoy sailing in Uruguay.
No other offices need to be visited.
When exiting the country, get a note from the marina showing your bills have been paid, and return to the same office, who will issue your Zarpe. The attitude everywhere is very welcoming and friendly.
