Residency

Uruguayan residency routes:

  • Standard residency - proof of income / qualifying activity
  • Investor route
  • Retirement / pensioner route
  • MERCOSUR fast-track for member-state nationals
  • Family reunification

Dominica routes:

  • Citizenship by Investment (CBI) via fund contribution or approved real-estate investment

Company setup

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

Domestic companies and IBCs are common in international structures.

Banking

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

Banking is selective. Bordercase coordinates banking introductions through current partners.

Family

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

CBI can include qualifying dependents.

Risks

  • Tax residency triggers (the new-resident tax holiday has conditions)
  • Banking documentation and source-of-funds rigor
  • Apostille + Spanish translation requirements

Risks Bordercase watches for in Dominica:

  • Programme parameters change
  • Due diligence has tightened
  • Reputational and revocation risks if information is misrepresented
