In addition a proof of income will be required, which MUST BE of a minimum of USD 500 (it is recommended to have a bit more than that). Please ask before as Immigrations does not accept every income.

A Health Certificate will also be requested by Immigrations, which only is obtainable at specific Institutions in Uruguay. Tetanus vaccination is mandatory in Uruguay and will be necessary for all applicants (Vaccination Certificate from Abroad will be accepted). Blood and urine test will be made to all applicants over 15 years of age. All women between 21 and 65 years of age have to provide a PAP Test and a Mammography as well (tests from abroad will be accepted as far as they are not older than 3 months).

With all documents an application for Permanent Residency can be settled at Immigrations. Usually the approval of the application takes 1 year, but each case will be considered individually. Immigrations have the right to apply for further information if the Legal Department considers it necessary.

After the Residency has been approved, the Local ID will specify the approval and will be valid for 3 years, which is renewable for further terms of 3 years.

To obtain a Local Driving License is also easy. A different Health Certificate will be required (mainly sight and hearing tests), as well as a home Driving License, the Local ID, the Passport and a translation of the corresponding Consulate (Consulate in Uruguay of the country where your driving license have been issued) indicating the category of driving license. With these documents you get your Local Driving License.
