Uruguay's General Visa Requirements
Obtain Uruguayan residency
There is a thriving services industry in Uruguay.
To apply for residence in Uruguay, you must do it in person at the Dirección Nacional de Migración in Montevideo. The following broad specifications apply to both types of applications:
a single passport-sized picture
both the original and photocopies of the identification card
The precise date when the person arrived in the nation
a health certificate from Uruguay's Health Department
a police clearance document from the nation of origin
a certificate of birth or marriage
the entry/exit ticket
a duplicate and original of your passport
The certification standards differ depending on the activity carried out.
Recognize the desire to remain in the nation
The native language of Uruguay is Spanish, thus all foreign documents must also be translated into Spanish and apostilled. If you're seeking to relocate, it could also be beneficial to speak a little bit of Spanish yourself or to hire an immigration lawyer that can aid with translation and immigration.
