The main procedure does not publish one universal US-dollar income threshold. Applicants must prove sufficient support in the form required for their circumstances.

Documents to discuss in your case review

  • Current identity document and visa where required
  • National criminal-record certificates from the country of origin and relevant countries lived in during the preceding five years
  • Photo, Uruguayan health card and vaccination evidence
  • Documented means of support; family and parental documents where applicable

This is a preparation overview. The responsible authority may request additional evidence, and requirements depend on your circumstances.

Showing how you support yourself

The DNM accepts different evidence for employees, business owners, foreign-company employees, pensioners and people supported by rental or other income.

Plan the sequence before ordering documents

Confirm the procedure, issuing country and document format first. Apostilles, legalizations, translations and appointment timing can affect what you need to prepare and when.

If you have dependents, previous residence in several countries, or a change of name, include that context in your inquiry. Leave passport numbers and sensitive records out of the initial message.
