Obtaining Uruguayan Residency
Simple process, but bureaucratic
It takes 6 to 10 months to obtain resident status
After 3/5 years, one can apply for citizenship/passport
Steps to obtain residency:
First, gather all the necessary documents (abroad)
Then, enter Uruguay, as a tourist
Within 90 days (extendable for another 90 days), submit the application at DNM
Once the request is submitted, the person may stay in the country indefinitely, as a “temporary resident”
