The VUI has introduced a new digital procedure for large-scale investment projects
The measure reinforces Uruguay's strategy to facilitate investment and streamline processes

Uruguay continues to make progress in modernizing and digitizing investment-related processes. Effective immediately, companies submitting large-scale investment projects to the Investment Law Enforcement Commission (COMAP) will be able to do so entirely online through the Single Investment Window (VUI), one of the key components of VUCE.
The introduction of this new procedure, implemented in coordination with the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), represents a new step in the country’s strategy to simplify the relationship between businesses and the government, reduce administrative processing times, and provide greater certainty for investors.
The tool is established under Decree No. 353/025, linked to the investment promotion regime, which provides benefits for projects of significant economic scale and for initiatives related to construction, urban development, and real estate development, as well as for investments that promote employment, sustainability, and the use of domestic industry.
With this addition, the VUI continues to establish itself as a key platform for facilitating the establishment and expansion of investments in Uruguay. The digitization of the process will allow for the centralization of strategic project management, improve traceability, and offer greater efficiency and accessibility throughout the entire process.
The measure takes on special relevance in an international context where regulatory agility and institutional responsiveness are factors increasingly valued by companies when determining investment destinations. In this scenario, Uruguay seeks to strengthen a more competitive, transparent, and predictable business environment.
In addition to facilitating access to the incentives provided by the Investment Promotion Act, the new digital procedure reduces operational barriers for foreign companies interested in establishing themselves in the country by simplifying procedures and consolidating processes on a single platform.
This advancement reaffirms the commitment to continue developing tools that make it easier to invest in Uruguay and help position the country as a reliable destination for investments with high economic impact.
