🇺🇾 Uruguay

Student Visa

Uruguay offers temporary residency for foreign students enrolled at recognized Uruguayan educational institutions. The Universidad de la República (UdelaR), the country's main public university, offers free tuition for all students including international applicants. Private universities such as Universidad ORT and Universidad de Montevideo are also well-regarded. Student residency allows part-time work authorization. Spanish proficiency is required for most programs. After completing studies, students can transition to work-based residency.
