Moving to Uruguay | Emigrating to Uruguay
Moving to Uruguay: Uruguay is a South American country, which is extremely popular with expats from all over the world. This is partly because the cost of living is relatively low, the security is high, especially for a nation in Latin America and it is possible to live a very good quality of life.
The stress-free lifestyle of Uruguayans is another convincing factor for many expats and is why so many choose to move to Uruguay.
Expats who want to work in Uruguay should either look for a job in an international corporation that pays salaries comparable to Western Europe or become self-employed. There are many opportunities particularly in tourism, real estate, wood and wine.
Generally, it is much more comfortable living in Uruguay if you are financially secure or have other sources of regular income.

Cost of Living
The cost of living in Uruguay is comparatively higher than that of other Latin American countries, with food prices, in particular, being at a higher level than is usual in Western Europe. Everything else, however, is much cheaper than in Western Europe, and Swiss people can look forward to a significantly lower cost of living than is possible in their home country.
Language
Anyone considering moving to Uruguay should learn Spanish, as English, as in many Latin American countries, is not widely spoken. Good Spanish skills help expats to immerse themselves in the culture, build social relationships with the locals, and are very important in working life, which is why language skills in Spanish are a prerequisite for being an expat in Uruguay.
Climate
Uruguay is a country with warm summers and mild winters, which makes it a pleasant place to spend the whole year.

Health & Education System
The health care system in Uruguay is extremely high, especially in comparison with other Latin American countries. However, it is definitely recommended for expats to take out private health insurance, as this will allow for even better medical care. This is the preferred option by most expats.
As far as the education system is concerned, expats also tend to trust private schools and universities, as well as international institutions, as these, tend to provide a better level of education.
