Uruguay introduced a short-term remote work option for foreign
nationals
Overview
The government of Uruguay introduced the Provisional Identity
Card for remote workers. The Card will be available
for a maximum period of stay of 180 days. The Provisional Identity
Card will also be extendable by an additional 180-day period.
Qualified applicants must be employed by a company that has no
entity registered in Uruguay. Foreign national remote workers will
not require sponsorship in Uruguay to obtain the Provisional
Identity Card.
In addition, remote workers will not be required to register
with the social security service of Uruguay, which is required for
all other foreign nationals employed in the country.
