Uruguay has become an attractive destination for digital nomads and people looking to relocate: stability, quality of life, and a favorable environment for remote work. If you're thinking of settling in, it's worth understanding how the system works so you can work legally.
Residence and work
There are different residence pathways depending on your situation. Many remote professionals choose to formalize their activity as independent workers, which lets them invoice local and international clients transparently.
Invoicing foreign clients
If your clients are outside Uruguay, you can issue receipts in dollars and track your income in multiple currencies. This is key for those getting paid from the USA, Europe, or the CIS.
- Issue invoices in UYU or USD depending on the client.
- Keep a clear record of international income.
- Meet your local obligations from day one.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Working without formally registering for months.
- Not keeping receipts of your operations.
- Ignoring DGI and BPS deadlines.
Solo.uy was also designed for relocants: a simple interface, multi-currency support, and content in several languages so you can start working in Uruguay smoothly, even if you just arrived.
