If anyone has first hand experience in Uruguay, which looks to me from the outside as being underrated/undiscovered as one of the prime choices for living (especially in this hemisphere), please enlighten.
<I>- Very low tax for traders (10% stocks/futures/etc. of anual profit) or 0% if you hold stocks for more than 1 year (good for value traders)</i> To Ertai or anyone else who lives abroad and trades the US stock market: This might be a dumb question, but do you trade in dollars or is there a way around this? For example, could you live in Europe and buy US securities in Euros? Or are you always "stuck" with the currency of the country's securities you are trading? I am concerned about the long-term value of the US dollar. Thanks
Was there very briefly in 2005. Montevideo is a very beautiful city, with very friendly people. I do recall being amazed at all the trees, I was told they have something like 2-3 trees for every 1 person. Connectivity wasn't really an issue though my experience was limited to an internet cafe. Really can't say too much more other than I would go back without hesitation. Plus it's just a hop skip and a jump from Buenos Aries.
Philippines.You 3 weeks on entry.Then you can renew for two months at a time up to one year.Then you must leave the country for a short period before returning.
Uruguay is as you said very underrated. It's a boring country but it's quiet, safe, low key and Punta del Este is like the Miami Beach of the US. Fun living for a fraction of the cost. That's where I'd live in Uruguay. Montevideo is just 2 hours away...
no special visa. just fly in. i just have to not stay here for a year. basically, leave the country before youre here for 365 days and just come back. As long as you have a US passport. Im not sure how it is with other citizenship.
