What's it like to be a gay vegan in Uruguay? New Yorker Chris has lived in Uruguay twice for a total of 16 months-and plans to return January 2024. He spills the beans.
As the second of a series on Living in Uruguay Karen A Higgs, CEO of @GuruGuay, talks to a US-born global communication coach about his stays in Uruguay as a digital nomad. Chris Roe discusses life in the capital Montevideo, how it is to be vegetarian or vegan in the mecca of beef and how he feels in Uruguay as a gay guy.

As a Uruguayan I thank you both for this wonderful interview, Chris has understood that life is about the little things, he sees them and enjoys them, that is the Uruguayan dimension, that's what it's all about

@GuruGuay Год назад

What a perceptive comment, Sebastian. Thank you so much. Chris is really in tune with Uruguay. It was such a pleasure to talk to him. Did you see the video we did together for Uruguay XXI? If you liked this one, you'll appreciate it a lot too ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eCWk2E35F4A.html

Lived in Montevideo for 7 years and miss not being there everyday. I have traveled alot and to me Uruguay is the only place I would be happy to live there forever. Chris was lucky to be stuck in the best country to settle down in the world. And I really mean settle down, a new and relaxing life experience. Beautiful land, food, people and life!!Vive Uruguay!!!!

Uruguay is, by far, the best choice for expats.

@GuruGuay Год назад

Thanks for commenting. I'm not sure if it's the best for everyone, but as a Brit living here for the last 20+ years, who chose Uruguay for quality of life for myself and my family, I'm very glad I made the move.

This is the second of these interviews that I've seen, and Uruguay sounds utterly fantastic. I have about a year to retire, but now I can't wait to get down there!!

Even though you said that watching the sunset is not possible in all the country, it' more common that you would think, as most of Colonia, Soriano and a big chunk of the Rio Uruguay coastal cities have their own version of the "rambla" facing west on the river, and sunsets are full of Uruguayans having mate and watching the sun going down. It's almost as Uruguayan as the mate (they go together)

@GuruGuay Год назад

Thanks for commenting. My understanding of what Chris was saying is just what you’ve underlined. Cheers!

@jovianboyle4170 Год назад

Yummy Chris 😍. If you guys have the chance sunsets over the Rio Uruguay are also pretty nice.

@GuruGuay Год назад

Thanks! Chris has been all over, including Colonia! For sure those sunsets are amazing (maybe you saw my short from last week??)

I also want to move to Uruguay and live there. I hope I will find an opportunity in December and be there for the first time. I will find a job there and become a local.

@GuruGuay 2 месяца назад

Hi there, I would recommend you find a job *before* you arrive. Jobs, especially well-paid ones, are not easy to find. And Uruguay is expensive. Good luck! Karen PS. Many people interested in moving to Uruguay consult with Guru'Guay to find out if it is really a good fit for them. Saving money and heart-ache in the process. more info here: www.guruguay.com/private-consultations/

Hola Guru'Guay. I just found this Video as i start to look for a new more quiet place to life. Im a 60year old retired Swiss living in Thailand since a long time but it's getting to "chaotic" here. I need more Peace. I also lived in the US,Ecuador and Colombia, so i have a little of Int. taste in me. I like your Video and would like to know more what i have to do to retire in Uruguay. I mean i know a view things but some tips would be nice. Do i need to show a Police Report from Thailand and does it has to be in Spanish or is English ok ? How easy is it to open a Bank account and how easy is it to transfer my Swiss Pension to there ? How do i get a Drivers License ? Where best to look for a Furnished Condo in Montevideo ? What is the best way to send a view Boxes of private stuff to Uruguay ? How much would a Pensionado Visa be and how to renew it and when ? I know, a lot of Q. I think about March next year would be the time to make the move. Thank u 🙏

A few things are not clear about the DN visa. I'm truly interested and I'd appreciate some more clarity since I haven't found answers anywhere on the internet. 1. If I apply online and have someone help in paying the fee locally, will the granted DN visa allow me to enter Uruguay or do I still need to get a tourist visa? 2. Will the DN visa allow me to sign documents such as a rent lease, opening a bank account, and other administrative things like any other resident? Or is it just like a tourist visa but with a longer stay period? 4. If I apply today, will the granted DN visa period of 180 days begin immediately or starting a chosen date that I pick in the future? Thank you!

@GuruGuay Год назад

Hi there, I checked with Uruguay XXI (the national investment agency who are promoting the DN visa). They recommend you write to them mailto:info@liveinuruguay.uy @UruguayXXIGUB

Dear Guru'Guay (or anyone else who can answer :) )! I'm looking for a long term home in Latin-America and I've just seen Uruguay's nomad visa but I couldn't find many important information about it so I thought you might be able to help me. I'm looking for a country where I can become some kind of resident (it's not important that it's temporal or permanent) and I can incorporate a company or become self-employed. I've just read about the nomad visa in Uruguay and it looks pretty nice but some things are not 100% clear for me. Legally is it a proper temporary residency or just some kind of "superlong tourist visa". Is sole proprietorship (self employed status) possible with it (as long as I have only foreign clients)? And as you who are in the country, how do you see how stable is the program (politically)? I'm in the situation that I could have a proper temporary residence permit (I have passive income much above the requirements) but its obviously seems more complicated so if its granting more or less the same I would go for the nomad visa. Thank you very much for your help and ideas.
