  • 8 Best reasons to retire to Uruguay! Living in Uruguay! Uruguay in many ways resembles a European destination rather than a South American one. It's largely unknown among potential North American expats, and you won’t find many of them living here. But recently, in the past few years, more and more North Americans are beginning to take a closer look at Uruguay. Would Uruguay be your retirement destination?

    Great video! I am from Southern Brazil, but intimately linked to Uruguay, as one of my great-grandfathers was from Tacuarembó, another great-grandfather was spanish, though he arrived from Europe in Montevideo in the early XX Century, then ended up in Rio Grande do Sul state (Brazil). Else my family used to have a few "estancias" along the border, there was one by the river (Jaguarão) that draws part of the border between the two countries, we used to spend vacations on their beaches as kids (Barra del Chuy, La Coronilla, Cabo Polonio, Punta Ballena, Maldonado, Punta del Este etc)....I miss the parrilladas, the Dulce de Leche Conaprole, the queso cozido of Melo's Dairy Products Cooperative, the Paso de Los Toros grape fruit soft drink etc etc.... so many great memories from the friendly country and its kind-educated people. I live far away, but who knows,maybe one day I'll be able to visit again. 🇺🇾 🇧🇷 🇺🇾 🇧🇷 👍👍👍😎🧉

We are very excited, and plan on bringing fresh eyes. We've heard that expats have affected the economy in negative ways, and we hope to not contribute to that phenomenon.

    I was privileged to visit Montevideo in 1955 for only one day. I was a 19-year-old sailor aboard the USS Bennington CVA-20 an aircraft carrier. Our ship was changing its main port from Brooklyn to San Francisco and the Bennington was too big to go through the Panama Canal. We were there only two and a half days and I could get off on one day. It was Rosh Hashanah so I went to a local synagogue and met a lovely German Jewish family who brought me to their home. I also remember having lunch at a hotel on Plaza Independencia

    The first 1/3 of the video seems to me more directed towards the tourist, with emphasis on food, sights to see and things to do. Yet, the title is directed at potential retirees. As retired person, I need to know more detail about the cost of living, moderately priced houses and rents, taxes on my US income, sales and real estate taxes, cost of medical and dental care, utilities, libraries and universities, requirements and ease of obtaining permanent residency and future citizenship.
    How closely a location resembles Miami is a trivial matter! If Miami were my interest, I could relocate there. I live only a few hundred miles from Miami.

    If you are planning on retiring to Uruguay, better be LOADED! The country is ridiculously expensive. I like visiting friends there, it's very laid back, and there are lots of older adults. A good portion of the younger population emigrate toward more stimulating destinations. If you have a lot of money and you are looking for tranquility, Uruguay is a good option.

      Mejor que gastar, es sumergirte online en el idioma, practicarlo a diario y buscar vocabulario, recien indagar en gramatica cuando se tenga un minimo concepto del idioma y de ser posible contratar un profesor nativo para mejorar la pronunciacion eventualmente (por skype). Mas barato, mas efectivo.
      Obviamente lo mas efectivo es mudarse al pais que hable ese idioma nativamente pero bueno, por un buen tiempo imposible

    There's a saying: You get what you pay for. Your description of Uruguay seems to reflect this. While it's not the cheapest ex-pat destination, it does seem to be among the more stable and prosperous. I've encountered people online (who claim to know the country) who totally bitch and moan about how expensive and terrible it is. One of these guys claimed to be out of work for years. I read this as people looking for "cheap" rather than "good". Your report was enough to make me dig deeper and plan a visit. Great video.

    Sounds like an undiscovered jewel of LatAm with a laidback Euro lifestyle (think Brussels, Geneva). This part of the world may be 30-40 years behind the ‘developed’ world in some respects but it hasn’t lost many traditional values of yesteryear. They have good internet, mobile telephony, potable water and a slower pace of life. So the downside seems minimal unless one is looking for something more fast paced and in your face. (Buenos Aires is just a short boat ride away!) Maybe best not to promote it too much and keep it for the discerning prepared to discover this little gem.

    I moved to USA 21 years ago. At that moment I felt everything was better here (in USA). Nowadays I don't think so. There are certain things better in Uruguay like: Healthcare system, natural food and lyfestyle, free education, democratic system. There are many other better in USA like: endless chances of economic success and in general terms safer than Uruguay. If I could, I would plan a retirement sharing half of the year in both countries (like the snowbirds)

Still, I’d like to know what it’s like for those with trades, and how is the work to life balance?

  • @peervossuruguayestancia5115

    one update regarding cost of living. Uruguay was surprisingly expensive during the years, say, 2007 to 2017. The local currency was very strong at the time, a. strong trade balance, b. government put on quite some debt in foreign currency which it then converted to local currency to spent on whatever. This has reversed somewhat. Local currency lost half its value to USD over the last, not sure, 7 or 8 years or so. So, cost of living now, is ok, wouldn't call it cheap
