Proposed New Visa Rules Make Uruguay a Haven to Watch for 2020

"Uruguay makes a lot of sense for retirees and other expats in the market for a safe, stable, good-value, First World experience,” says IL Contributor, Jeff Opdyke, who recently returned from there. “And word on the street is that the country’s newly elected center-right government plans to simplify bureaucratic requirements and dramatically speed up the process for gaining residence. “Right now, that takes about a year and requires six months of living in the country—not such a bad deal already, given Uruguay’s attractiveness as a place to live. But the new approach would make it even easier to stay there.”
