@@GuruGuay The way things are going in the western countries I wouldn't be surprised if Laura gets overwhelmed with people wanting her help, including myself. Gosh, if consultants had these good reviews in all countries it would help Laura in Uruguay!! Alot of us would just wish that Uruguay wasn't so far away.....
Please note that Canada is now a signatory country of The Hague agreement and does not require a legalisation process any longer. At the moment of the publication of this interview, Canada has started issuing Apostilles. Thank you!
Hello Karen and Laura. This was an excellent video. Please note that Canada joined the Hague Convention in January 2024. Now if there are delays in the process, how is a person supposed to provide documents such as birth or marriage certificates that were issued only 3 months earlier, the 3 month period could expire easily because of the delays. Secondly, how would anyone bring to Uruguay his/her possessions for living there if he/she doesn't even know if the application will even be accepted?! Third, what happens if a document and apostille of 3 months issue is supposed to come from a third country that is very difficult to obtain because of bureaucracy, corruption, war, etc.? With all sorts of complications how would the applicant still be required to remain in Uruguay for 6 or 8 of 15 months without even knowing or being able to plan their lives because they have NO assurances that the application will even be accepted?!! And how well or not do all these issue apply to older people who want to live their quiet retirement (after age 65) in Montevideo or Punta del Este?
Hi dovygoodguy1296! Thank you for your message. If you go through the comments you will notice I added a note regarding the apostille for Canada since this interview was recorded prior to the changes applying. Thank you for pointing it out as well. Regarding your questions about timing, documents do not need to be introduced together in the process therefore with accurate planning/organisation all timings can be considered. Usually documents have a 6 months validity upon arrival to Uruguay. As mentioned in the video, if applicants comply with requirements residency is always granted. You mention 3 months, where are you getting this information from? There is no 3 months validity for any of the documents required. As soon as you apply for residency you are considered a resident in process and if you have any trouble obtaining third country documents, you have the whole residency application process to be able to introduce those documents to your file. I would suggest a personal consultation to go through specifics so we can review any doubts you may have. Thank you for your comment!
@@marialauracanepa5674 Thank you for your clarification. Sometimes it is difficult to obtain a fresh birth or marriage certificate with the apostille, such as when there are wars, and other difficulties. That is why I asked. Some bureaucracies are not cooperative, so what contingencies could work in such situations? I also think I must have confused Uruguay with other countries that require a three month validity.
@@marialauracanepa5674 So you mean that no foreigner in Uruguay as an ordinary tourist would really be in a position to apply for residency since as regular tourists there really is no way of remaining in Uruguay for many months or of coming to Uruguay as regular tourists armed with the proper documents and personal belongings. So really if you want to do it after your first tourist visit, you really have to return home and begin the preparations and then go back to Uruguay as a prospective immigrant! There's no sense going the very first time as a prospective immigrant even if it is a long trip!
@@dovygoodguy1296 My pleasure!! I understand what you mean. We had cases for instance of applicants from a country that was actually part of the USSR when the applicant was born. Applicant did not leave the country with a birth certificate back in the 80’s and the apostille did not even exist at that moment. But there are ways to get those documents from abroad. Every case is different and you also have to bear in mind that you can still fetch for documents while in the process. There is not need to have all documents at once. So even though we recommend getting all documents while at the country of origin, we also understand there are circumstances that will require more time. Again, in those cases we suggest having a consultation to come up with a plan that suits the applicant.
Hello Karen and Laura, this is a very interesting serie ! Thank you so much! About the possibility to have a tax free moving of our belonging… being for a 6 months « Windows », could you please tell me from what date does this 6 months of exemption start? From the residency acceptation ? That would mean that we should live without our belongings for maybe a year before receiving them?
The only process that I can think of, as of today, that would eventually make someone go to the consulate of US/Canada for moving purposes would be if a list of items being sent to the country needed to be checked by the consulates or if the person was sending personal belongings from any of those countries but they would be applying with another nationality and needed to show they have been residing in either of those places and did not have a residency card. Very rare cases but possible. Hope this helps!
What are the steps for the apostille process in the US and Canada? Do you need to show a $1500 per month depositing in the Uruguayan bank if you prove you have a sufficient source of funds for see several years, I. e. say $500,000 or more??
This is very weird. I have answered to you. YT shows me there is an answer but I cannot see it. Probably because of the web page shared for Canadian process on Apostilles. Global Affairs Canada has a whole site (which I shared on the answer I cannot display) with all details and steps needed to get apostilles in Canada. Process in the US is done by each State Department. We’ve partnered with a firm that assists us getting apostilles from abroad and we and our clients have been using their services for many years now. They are trustworthy, efficient and quick.
Thank you for the informative video. I have question around vaccines. I’ve heard that a residency applicant requires proof of 3 vaccines separate to Covid. I (regrettably for me) received 3 Covid shots. I do not respond well to vaccines in general, is there any way around this dilemma?? Aside from that looking forward to further discovering the diamond in the rough that is Uruguay :)
Hi Alex! Thank you for your comment. Residency process requires just the Tetanus shot. If you have your certificates from back home then info can be revalidated. If not then shot can be provided in Uruguay for free. In the case of adverse reactions to vaccination, a letter from your doctor advising of such restriction will be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us. We will review all documents particular to your case in depth and advise on required needs. Welcome to Uruguay! Laura
@@marialauracanepa5674 Hopefully the next time around Uruguay won't play into the pandemic nonsense. The globalists think they can shove us into the bird flu hysteria and make even more money off of fake vaccines.
@@marialauracanepa5674 Hello Maria Laura, if the person applying does not have his/her vaccination record, he/she can not start the process online until he visits Uruguay and go to a vacunatorio, and then I hear the appointments are taken aprox 6 months now. Am I correct? If so, a person living abroad who wants to start the residency process would have to travel to Uruguay just for the vaccination record, then leave, then book the residency appointment and then travel again for the appointment. I wished Uruguay just dropped this silly in my eyes vaccination requirement. Thanks for your help to you and to @GuruGuay

Laura sounds so articulate, so organized, and knowledgeable. ...
That's what her clients love about her. You can read what they say here: www.guruguay.com/mobilitylc-relocation-specialists/
@@GuruGuay Great thanks.
That is so sweet of you to say!! Thank you so much! 🙏🏼

Thanks, Laura! Murphy’s Law that of the two countries you happen to mention, one changes the rules within days of us filming this interview!
@@GuruGuayno better example than: laws are temporary and circumstantial and they are subject to change, as discussed during our interview. Ha! 😆

But you still need to go to an Uruguayan consulate. That could involve extra travel and expenses in the US and Canada.

Am I obligated to pay the IRPF if my income is foreign sourced?
Hi! No, IRPF is only paid on income from Uruguayan source according to the thresholds indicated by the tax bureau.
Thanks for answering, Laura!
I thought you pay 12% on interest and dividends from abroad after your tax holiday period, which exempts you from it.
