Company setup

SAS and SA are common structures. DGI tax registration and BPS social-security registration follow.

IBCs are common in international structures. Reporting and substance frameworks have tightened.

GBC (Global Business Company) and Domestic Companies are the standard structures. Substance requirements following OECD reforms must be considered; the GBC framework has evolved materially.

Banking

Residency unlocks personal banking. Uruguay has historically been a HNW banking destination in the region; standards have tightened materially.

Banking is selective. KYC and source-of-funds documentation are central. Bordercase coordinates banking introductions.

Local banks support resident and corporate accounts; KYC and source-of-funds requirements are real. Bordercase coordinates banking introductions.

Family

Family reunification is supported. Schools (public, private, bilingual, international) are concentrated in Montevideo and Punta del Este.

CBI applications can include qualifying dependents under conditions.

Family inclusion is supported. International schools are available in major regions.
