    Facilitation of access to residences in Uruguay

    Uruguay XXI is promoting a procedure that facilitates access to temporary residencies in Uruguay to encourage the attraction of talent.

    Now, temporary residencies – with a period of more than six months but less than two years – granted to investors, operators, technicians, managers, and middle management linked to exporting companies will be authorized by the National Immigration Directorate (DNM) within a shortened timeframe through the Fast-track tool.

    Any foreigner hired by local or international exporting companies can apply for the facilitation of a visa and/or temporary residency, whether they are in Uruguay or abroad. The required documents will depend on their country of origin.

    For inquiries: fast-track@uruguayxxi.gub.uy
