Permanent Residency in Retirement

Bob (219.88.254.158) -

Can anyone tell me the exact requirements to secure permanent residency status in Uruguay as a retired person plus wife? I am a 65 year old British subject.

Many thanks for any help that you can provide

Bob

You need to meeting the monthly income requirements (probably on the order of US$500/month). Show a clean police records and provide the suitable documents (birth certificate, etc). Documents from outside Uruguay will need to be authenicated and translated (if needed).

You also have to have a local health examin that costs about US$20.

Wow, that is interesting to know that you are required to show proof of income in order to become a citizen? I wonder it the US requires that? It's good to know they don't want bums roaming the streets!

Well, it is income (and a clean police record) you need to show for Residency (the right to live in the country long term). The requirement for Citizenship is more or less to be a resident for enough time.

Most countries want people that will enhance their place to become residents (as opposed to "bums"). Therefore, I think you'll find all countries have some income requirements. They are usually based on what normal costs of living there are and usually seem quite low based on US standards.

Many countries such as Costa Rica don't allow one to work even after they get residency. Uruguay, however does allow one to work once they get residency; though I suspect most don't as they have already shown they can support themselves without working in Uruguay.

I'm not sure anyone walks to talk about immigration to the USA here!

I received all the requirements for residency directly from the Uruguayan Embassy in Australia.

If you are interested please email me and I will forwarded it to you.

Cheers,

Robbie

My wife and I spent a month in Montevideo this winter.

Visits to Gov't offices proved helpful. Every question was quickly answered. Spanish ability is good but not absolute necessary. Basic requirements are proof of income equal to $500 US and a good character letter froom your national police.

We have completed our paperwork from Alaska and are returning to Uruguay next month to purchase a home and make moving arrangements. See you in Montevideo!

I can send a document on permanent residency in Uruguay which I received directly from the Embassy of Uruguay in Australia.

The information is very clear, translated into English and quite useful.

Please contact me for details and I can forward it to you by email.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Michael Meehan from Ottawa, Canada and I am interested in obtaining the requirements for residency if you still have them. Are there different requirements for a working residency as compared to retirement. I will shortly be retiring and wouldn't mind looking at the working residency as well.

Thank you for your time.

There is basically one residency.. legal residence. Once you you apply you are are 'in tramite' (in process). I don't know if you can work while in process... but once you are approved (which can take a year or two) you can work.

If they give you an ID card during the in process, process, your ultimate ID will have the same #.

I think the first replies cover all the bases... get your pension income, birth certificate and marriage certificate authenticated by the Uruguay Embassy for the area they were issued... Not sure the process for Canadian criminal history. For U.S. Citizens, you can go to the interpol office in Montevideo.

NO way. They do not take felons in uruguay. Why do oyu think they ask you for a criminal check redord ? they donīt need people who have commited crimes, Iīm sure they have enough there

Hope you can find anothr place to go.

You might find that the regulations say that if you have a criminal record you also have to provide (legalized) proof that you have completed the sentence. So, a criminal record would appear not to be an automatic rejection.

You could contact an attorney with experience in Uruguayan immigration for answers, not a public forum!

Retirement in Uruguay has these advantages: World class modern infrastructure, excellent highways, drinkable water, and stunning beaches . During peak season, it is fun and lively full of travellers around the world.It is low cost too thus a very good choice to retire.

I wanna apply for residency in Uruguay. I don't have work in Uruguay. I'll get married in Montevideo Uruguay and would want to stay there for good. I know there's a US$500/month income requirement. Do i submit the proof of income of my husband since i don't have work yet? He will be the one supporting me. Thanks!

If i'm married to an Uruguayan citizen, is it easier to get a residency? What are the requirements and how long is the process? Thank you very much!
