The last decade has seen record numbers of foreigners wishing to
move to Uruguay. The reasons for this may vary: some look to live
in a stable and relatively prosperous country, where they can find
a good place to settle and raise a family, since Uruguay provides
them with comfortable lifestyle, with nice and relatively safe
neighborhoods, good schools and medical care. Others may take into
account that Uruguay has investment opportunities, providing
special benefits and the same tax treatment as Uruguayan nationals,
as well as having a good system to develop business. Other
important factors are our country´s social and political
stability, it´s strong democratic tradition and that it
allows foreigners who want to invest with an entrance point to the
Mercosur.
