Uruguay Temporary Residence (no dedicated nomad visa): Requirements

Uruguay doesn't have a visa built specifically for digital nomads, but its standard temporary residence process is comparatively accessible, and the country has actively marketed itself to remote workers through a notable tax residency incentive rather than through a dedicated visa category.

Standard residence requires proof of income or means to support yourself, without a nomad-specific remote-work documentation requirement — similar in structure to Ecuador's approach. Public guidance on a specific minimum dollar figure for this general "proof of means" route is genuinely less precise than the country's well-documented investment-based tax residency thresholds (below) — this is a case where confirming directly with an immigration attorney matters more than trusting a single published number.

Uruguay is often discussed alongside dedicated nomad-visa countries because of its tax incentive (below) rather than because its immigration process is nomad-specific — worth understanding that distinction before assuming a formal 'nomad visa' exists here.

• Proof of income or means to support yourself — no single fixed figure is consistently published; confirm current specifics directly rather than rely on any one source
• Valid passport
• Clean criminal record
• Proof of accommodation
