Better quality of life
Uruguay is the best country to live in Latin America according to the 2017 Legatum Prosperity Index and the Mercer Index (2017). The ranking is based on a variety of factors, including wealth, economic growth and quality of life.
Uruguay is a safe country, with 3.4 million inhabitants. Montevideo (its capital), and other cities in the interior, offers excellent living conditions for executives and their families with access to first class health and education services. More and more foreigners are choosing Uruguay to live. Executives can stay and work legally in the country while their applications for residency visas are processed.
