Permanent residence through a sole trader: support for the primary applicant
5 900 $
the government fee of $240 is paid separately and directly
Prices are in US dollars and are all-inclusive — nothing is added on top; this is our partner’s rate in Uruguay. The government fee of $240 per person is paid directly. ⚠️ Separate and ongoing: approximately $250 per month in social security and pension contributions for as long as your business is active — this is not a one-off payment but an ongoing obligation, adding roughly $3,000 per year. Accounting services after incorporation are billed separately.
SVOY initial consultation — 100 $, credited toward the cost support. All services and packages in Uruguay
How it works in Uruguay
Cases are handled by the National Migration Authority, and for certain ome grounds — the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A particular feature of Uruguay is that the application is submitted from inside the country, and while the application is being reviewed the person lives on the issued document and can now obtain an identity card.
What we need from you to get started
- International passport and entry stamp
- Grounds: income, employment, business, family, or family connections
- Birth certificate with apostille and translation
- Criminal record check with apostille
- Uruguayan-format medical certificate
Where things most often go wrong
- —Didn’t get the medical certificate locally: one brought from another country isn’t accepted
- —Translation done without a sworn translator
- —The birth certificate was brought without an apostille, and obtaining one possible only in the country of issue
- —Expected to apply from abroad — here the process works the other way around
Uruguay works like Argentina, not like Mexico: status is obtained in person, on the ground. But the paperwork requirements here are more extensive, and the mandatory local medical certificate surprises almost everyone.
Fees, processing times, and institutional requirements change several times per year, which is why they are not listed here: we verify and quote them as of the date of submission.
