I am South African and would like to get residence in Uruguay with my family. Are there any South Africans living in Uruguay or Paraguay and are there any short cuts to getting residence.
How difficult is it to find an electrical trade job in these countries. Any information from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, getting residence in Uruguay is not very difficult. You would be required to provide a health examination, proof of regular funds going into your account (500 us), police report from your country of origin. The whole procedure can be done very easily and there are countless professionals dedicated to help foreigners settle in Uruguay. As far as work is concerned there are two issues you need to consider: language skills and salary expectations. Generally speaking people make very little money here, unless you can establish yourself as a company working for the new ritzy developments along the beach communities. In Punta del Este a good electrician can earn pretty well but never as much as in the USA. Of course if you are the owner of the company you can make a killing. Paraguay is a different ball game all together. Infrastructure is deficient, everything goes pretty slow, a lot of bureaucracy that will bring tears to your eyes. It is pretty good for those who want to buy land and start farm or cattle operations. Hope this helped
