Shipping a container from the UK by ColoniaMan

Sourcing a shipping container is easy enough. Getting a price from a shipping line is easy enough BUT Has anyone shipped a container from the UK? How or where do you load the container? The places selling containers don't allow loading, they ...

And there's the rub. By the time you get your full legal cedula, you will have been in the country longer than your duty free import period. Read More

Land in uruguay by future°µÍø½ûÇø44

Hi. I'm looking to purchase 0.5-2~ acres in rural Uruguay. When I do a google search for price of land in Uruguay, I see a very fair price which is approximately US1700$ per acre. However, when I check listings online (I've checked *many*) , there ...

This is the best value I could find in a quick search. It's 12 acres and comes in a US$10,000 per acre. I don't know where you got a figure of $1,700 per acre but it must have been poor quality land in the middle of nowhere with disputed ... Read More

So when you read that an °µÍø½ûÇø may import their personal and household effects 3 months before or 3 months after arrival, that is clearly not the case. It's likely that a more competent customs agent could clear one container without delay but my ... Read More

@OsageArcher The problem is finding goods of the same quality in Uruguay. Even if you can, the price if up to 3x the cost as it will be imported. If you live in an antique house, as I do, you can get well made, solid furniture at auction but it ... Read More

Building and Remodeling homes by eaglefeather9

Does anyone know whether Uruguay uses a building code standard for new construction? Are permits required? How easy is it to get building materials, especially lumber? Is lumber expensive? I notice that most homes I see online are concrete or brick; ...

Termites are very prevalent but are easily treated. Building plans have to be submitted to the Intendencia and the buildings inspector will visit you regularly. I bought some timber last year to replace an 8 year old deck 1"x6"x3.3 m planks were 428 ... Read More

The cost of shipping the container, a 20' aka 1 teu was relatively low or would have been if everything had gone to plan. I was quoted a price from Hamburg Sud in the region of USD 600-700 from London. When I tried to book a space, they replied ... Read More

Incredibly, the container continues to give me grief. Although migrants are permitted to import their worldly goods free of the 60% duty, in order to get the goods released, it is necessary to pay a guarantee to customs, which is discharged when the ... Read More

Honest picture of daily life in Uruguay by Sova

Hi everyone, I am looking for the near or bit distant future place to move to and live. And Uruquay seems to offer many really great things. I lived in few countries before, so I dont wear pink glasses, (although I wish) so bring it on, im not faint ...

My biggest bugbear is the bureaucracy coupled with the lack of personnel to process the endless tramites. All the time you are not having to deal with various government departments, life is very enjoyable here. Read More

How long to get the permanent residency? by bjornensandrine

Hello everybody,I' ve seen on internet that people got their cedula in 10 days but then, how long it takes to get the permanent residency? (if everything goes well).

Alexis Mandrake

You need to make an appointment with DNI for your cedula and the problem doing that from
