🇺🇾 Uruguay

Retirement Visa

Uruguay's Retirement Visa is specifically for individuals receiving a permanent pension from abroad, whether from government or private providers. There is no fixed minimum pension amount, though it must be sufficient to support basic living costs — typically estimated at $1,500 USD/month. The pension must be guaranteed for life. Retirees can access Uruguay's public healthcare system (ASSE) at affordable rates (~$60-80/month) or join private mutualistas. Uruguay's mild climate, excellent healthcare, political stability, and territorial tax system make it a top retirement destination in Latin America.
