Hi,

I have contacted but i am yet to get it but lot of time elapsed.

Rgds,

We were asked to show $1500 per couple and they preferred government pensions to any other kind of income.  There is not an actual amount but Uruguay is more expensive than the US and even though we own our home so have no rent, we spend around $2000US a month.

thanks a lot for the information.

Hi,

between 1200 and 1700, but it might vary depending on your life style (can be much more or something less).

Kind regards

Thanks a lot for the information posted.

The program  mentioned about buying property or government securities worth $100,000 US for residency purposes was ended some years ago and the amount required is now more flexible.

You are required to show you can support your life style. There is no fixed amount. If you buy a house for $250.000 then you will need to show more than if you buy a small house in the campo  for $50,000 and grow your own food.  Residency is a slow process and you generally will have many months or years to demonstrate you can afford to live here.

Folk trying to get absolutes on things here will become frustrated as you will often get a different answer depending on who you speak to and rules can change quickly with little warning or publicity.

Embassies may not have the latest information and have led a lot of folk astray!

Thank you for this information morell
