Any information as to how this is going for residents would be very much appreciated! do you know of people acquiring these or if not why denied?
Are most able to obtain after 5 years?
Thanks friends!

I know of a few who have done this or are working on it. From what I have been told, you need to be able to answer questions from the court in Spanish, have several Uruguayans attend with you to vouch for you and be able to demonstrate that you are integrated into the society by belonging to local organizations etc. There is quite a bit of paperwork needed similar to residency but different and of course there are costs. The people I know used the law firm Fischer and Schickendantz. Yes, at least five years.

It is my understanding that it is 5 years for individuals, and 3 years for married couples to become citizens.

The couples I know were allowed to apply at three years but it took quite a lot longer to get all the paperwork approved and line up the court date etc.
