Uruguay is one of the easiest countries
in South America who offers permanent
residency directly. How you can get a
permanent residency in Uruguay without
investment. If you have stable income
like pension or passive income or even
active income, you can apply for
permanent residency in Uruguay. Hello
guys, welcome back to the channel. This
is Wii from Second Home Visa. Today I'm
going to discuss about Uruguay permanent
residency. Uruguay is one of the easiest
countries in South America.
Uh who offers permanent residency
directly. But uh to be very honest with
you, there are many people going to
Uruguay which is also called Uruguay in
Spanish. Many people from USA and Canada
are relocating to Uruguay especially
from USA because of the Trump
administration taking you know a lot of
actions against different groups. So
people are actually moving to Uruguay
and that's why the system is a little
bit uh overcrowded and there is a
backlog now. So it's not easy now. Easy
means like it's not fast. Now you have
to wait to get the permanent residency
right even for the temporary residency
card you have to wait now. So basically
how you can get a permanent residency in
Uruguay without investment. Uruguay is
very very flexible country because this
is one of the few countries in South
America who have very flexible laws for
foreigners and for migrants. Right? So
if you have stable income like uh
pension or passive income or even active
income, you can apply for permanent
residency in Uruguay. So I will give you
the step-by-step guide and I will also
give you a bonus at the end of this
video. So you must watch this video till
the end to get the bonus uh option as
well. Right. So basically you have to go
to Uruguay first. If you need a visa,
you have to get a visa. Or if you don't
need a visa, you can go there and just,
you know, land in the country and as a
visitor, you can arrive in the country
and get a stem from the immigration at
the airport and then you can apply
within the country. To apply for
permanent residency or even temporary
residency, you have to be in Uruguay.
This is the first condition, right? So
once you are there, you can apply to the
migration department for permanent
residency and they will issue you a
temporary residency while your permanent
residency is still processed. So it's
not a 24-hour game or it's not a 24-hour
process. It takes time. For example, if
you apply for the permanent residency,
you will get the temporary residency
within 1 to 2 months. Now before it was
like 10 to 15 days but now uh things
have like orc crowded right the system
is overcrowded so it will take now one
to two months to get the temporary
residence card. So basically you have to
prepare for the application in your home
country. What I mean by that I mean by
that you have to bring many documents
from your home country like police
character certificate, birth
certificate, marriage certificate if you
are coming with family. These all
documents should be apostiled or
authenticated like attested in your
country right and then once you bring
these documents you have to also bring
documents like uh income proof you know
what is your income what is your bank
statement and stuff like that you have
to bring all of these documents to
Uruguay and then in Uruguay uh these
documents must be uh translated to
Spanish you should not translate these
documents outside Uruguay
When you come to Uruguay, you have to
translate uh these documents by official
translator. There are official
translators in Uruguay. Now, the minimum
monthly requirement, income requirement
is $1,500.
If you are earning $1,500 and you can
prove that, then you are good to go. But
if you have family, then it should be
like more than $2,000 a month, right? So
this is basically uh the criteria and
you can include your family as well.
Right? The documents that you need for
the permanent residency once you are in
Uruguay I have written everything down
here. Uh you need the passport with a
legal entry. Legal entry means that
stamp you got from the immigration. And
then you have to make a health card in
Uruguay. It's like a medical
certificate, right? Uh proof of income,
bank statement and stuff. uh criminal
background certificate, local address
when once you arrive in uh Uruguay, you
have to get a house on rent or apartment
and then you will provide your address
to the immigration so they can send you
information and uh your birth
certificate you know even you need a
birth certificate not just for the
children you also need a birth
certificate as a main applicant. So you
must bring that as well from your
country and the documents should be
recently issued. This is very important.
You should not bring old documents.
Right? So the step-by-step process is
that you will enter Uruguay and then
after that you will get all these
documents translated and then you will
apply. So basically it takes time and
Uruguay is a Spanish-sp speakaking
country. The official language is
Spanish. So you need someone like help
from someone some professional guy who
should help you with each and every step
of the process right this is very
important because for foreigners it's
not easy to do all these things together
but the good news is most of the
consultants and the lawyers who are
working in Uruguay for residency for
permanent residency and for citizenship
they charge a very very reasonable fees
which is a good thing because they don't
charge too much like Brazil and
Argentina because in in Argentina and
Brazil they charge a lot of money. They
just charge you for just simply asking
question as well. So that's a whole
burden on the applicant. But in Uruguay
they just want to help the immigrants to
come to the country and settle down
there. So what you can do I have written
down a very very comprehensive uh
detailed stepby-step guide. I told you
about the process but there are many
more steps like you should understand
everything you know with step-by-step
guidelines. So I have written down in
text format and I have given all the
links to like where to get the
appointment how to go to different
offices for different things and where
to you know translate the documents and
stuff like that. So I have written down
a whole guide for Uruguay. I will put
the link in the description and you can
just go there and buy this guide. There
is a very very small fee for it like
it's just a price of a coffee right in
USA or a meal. So in this guide I have
also written down the contact
information of very authentic
consultants and lawyers who are based in
Uruguay. I am not associated with them.
They don't pay me any commission or
anything but I have talked to like many
people, many consultants and many
lawyers in Uruguay and I found these
guys are very helpful and they help you
with everything in free of cost before
the application and once you start the
application you pay them but a very
reasonable amount like 800 to 1200 you
can pay them and they will do all the
process uh for the permanent residency
like the application and stuff like that
but again as I told you in the start
it's no more an easy option it's no more
a quick option I would say it's easy
still easier uh than other countries but
it now takes time so be very careful
with your time because once you go there
and you apply for the permanent
residency you have to stay there because
if you want to get the permanent
residency you have to stay there in
Uruguay for at least 6 months in a year
and if you want citizenship as well
Uruguay offers uh very very easy and
simple process for naturalization
citizenship only after 3 years for
married people and 5 years for single
persons right so for a family it's a
very good option to get a passport which
is a very good and strong document right
but the thing is you have to live there
right and most of the time the
consultant will will guide you about the
income because from outside it's very
difficult to prove your income in
Uruguay because they won't believe most
of the times right so the better option
is to open a bank account in Uruguay and
then put uh some amount like transfer
the amount from outside and wait for 2
or 3 months and then you can provide
that income to as a proof of you know
like your income proof or that you have
money you can support yourself in
Uruguay or you can start a business and
then you can support your application
through business as well. So, thank you
very much. I will put the link in the
description. Uh, you can check that out,
right?
