🇺🇾 Uruguay

Family Reunification Visa

Uruguay allows family reunification for spouses, dependent children, and financially dependent parents of Uruguayan citizens or permanent residents. Family members receive the same residency status as the primary applicant. MERCOSUR nationals (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru) benefit from simplified processing. Spouses of Uruguayan citizens can apply for citizenship after 3 years of residency. Family-based residency provides full work rights.
