Uruguay: Arriving from USA:

Did you do any research before moving down Flightpath? Just curious. I have not emigrated yet but I am doing as much research as possible including getting real legal advice.

Uruguay: shipping costs:

Greetings, I know this question does not have a single answer as there is no such thing as a right answer to "how much does it cost to ship your goods to Uruguay from the United States?" Obviously a person shipping the contents of a one bedroom apt from Miami is going to be a lot less than someone shipping the contents of a McMansion from Seattle. All that being said, can anyone give rough amounts as to what it cost to ship say the contents of a 2 be apt? Thanks.

Uruguay: US attorney moving/abogado mudandose:

Interesting question. My desire to emigrate to Uruguay has been hastened by recent events here in the US and have no idea if any legal skills are transferrable down there.

Uruguay: expat search engines:

Greetings all, We were looking for a foreign country to retire to (when the time comes) and Uruguay fit all the criteria. It's been a while since I posted anything here and I get the sense that things have gotten considerably more expensive and more people are frustrated by the bureaucratic delays in getting their residency approved. In any event, while not giving up on Uruguay (we are hoping to take a trip down in say Feb 2017 and actually consult with an immigration attorney to get real questions answered), does anyone know of any websites that offer search engines for foreign destinations based upon what criteria are most important to the user? For instance, a site where you could enter income, availability of healthcare, ease of immigration (just as examples) and results are generated based upon your chosen criteria? Any feedback is appreciated.

Uruguay: Gluten free/vegan/vegetarian in URuguay:

One of the pleasant surprises I found in Uruguay is that their gluten free products are marked usually "sin TACC" and restaurants are supposed to know what items contain gluten when ordering. As someone who needs a gluten free diet, I found Uruguay to be a very easy place to eat.

Uruguay: Migration:

Placestogo, were you from the United States originally? If so, what made you move to Ecuador and did you check it out before you moved there? Out of curiosity, what type of work do you think you will find in Uruguay?

Uruguay: medical emergencies visiting the US:

I think I know the answer to this question but I was wondering if anyone has had personal experience with this or knows someone who did. Assume one becomes an expat, not renouncing US citizenship but retiring abroad. In Uruguay, for example, healthcare seems to be reasonably priced and accessible. You make a return trip to the States - vacation, wedding, funeral, whatever - and there is a medical emergency and you're carted off to the hospital. I know there's no coverage from Uruguay (no brainer) but I take it you'd be uninsured and get hit with a whopping bill? I assume Medicare is only an option if you actually pay your monthly premiums. Is there no option from any source for temporary coverage when visiting the States?

Uruguay: Capital Controls - U.S.:

Consider the sources of all this hysteria. Almost none of the sources here are from any reputable websites. I feel like I'm reading stories written by Lyndon LaRouche when I went to some of these links.

Uruguay: New to Uruguay:

If it is not your intention to live there year round, you should investigate the property rights of absentee owners. Many foreign countries have bizarre laws with regards to rights of squatters

Uruguay: Energy costs and fuel prices are the highest in the region:

If the price of gasoline is enough to prevent a person from relocating to Uruguay (or any other country for that matter), maybe he or she should stay put. Seriously, Uruguay offers favorable tax treatment for foreigners, access to a quality and affordable healthcare system and a stable democracy and people are going to complain about the cost of energy there?
