🇺🇾Uruguay
Uruguay is Latin America's stable, safe outlier: a small, progressive country with strong institutions, a high quality of life, and a relaxed coastal lifestyle. Montevideo offers a low-key, walkable capital with a long riverfront rambla, while glamorous Punta del Este is the summer playground of the region's wealthy. Costs run higher than neighboring countries, but you trade that for safety, reliability, and peace of mind.
Your entry & visa for Uruguay
A United States passport gets 90 days visa-free, then the Digital Nomad Residence for the long haul. Pick your passport above to see your own access.
The Digital Nomad Residence
Uruguay's Digital Nomad Residence permits a six to twelve month stay and can lead to permanent residency. There is no fixed minimum income requirement, making it relatively accessible; you simply prove remote work for foreign clients or employers. The country's stability, safety, and clear path to residency make it stand out among regional options.
