Company setup

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

IKE (Private Company), EPE (LLC), and AE (Joint Stock Company) are common structures. Greek tax residency triggers worldwide income reporting; the non-dom regime may apply to eligible high-net-worth relocators.

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.

Personal banking for residents is well established; corporate banking depends on activity. Bordercase coordinates introductions for non-standard structures.

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.

Family reunification is supported on most routes. Schools (public, private, international, English-language) are available in major cities.

CBI can include qualifying dependents.
