Best for: Montevideo for nomads who want stability + ocean — South America's Uruguay-as-Switzerland.
Uruguay is the stable, expensive corner of South America — strong democracy, reliable institutions, banking that just works. The Permanent Residency path is real and the tax structure (foreign-source income exempt for 11 years for new tax residents) is one of the most generous in the region. Montevideo is the only nomad city; Punta del Este is summer-only.
Visa story
Tourist 90 days; Permanent Residency available with relatively low income test.
Open the per-city visa cards on each city page for the specific income tests, durations, and program names. None of this is legal advice — confirm with the consulate before booking.
