Uruguay

These are the documents the authorities expect for the lead route. This is a reference list, not an eligibility check: whether any one item is met depends on your own situation. Items marked for apostille must be legalized before they will be accepted.

Uruguay is a full member of the Hague Apostille Convention (in force since 14 October 2012), so a single apostille from the issuing country's competent authority replaces consular legalization; every foreign public document (birth/marriage certificate, criminal-record check) must be apostilled and, if not in Spanish, translated by a sworn Uruguayan translator (Brazilian documents are exempt from translation).

The recorded process folds into stages, each listing the real steps it covers. Timing depends on your consulate and is not fixed, so no week estimates are shown here.

The bottom line on Uruguay: the Digital Nomad Permit is a solid short-term option, but it tops out at 180 days and cannot be extended, so for anything longer you are looking at the Residencia Legal Temporaria as the route that actually matters. That temporary residency is the direct, officially confirmed path toward permanence, and its bar is not a specific income figure but rather meeting the category requirements and submitting the standard document set, with the process running up to two years depending on your situation. If you are only staying a few months, the nomad permit is easy enough; if you want to settle in, plan for the temporaria from the start.
