Moving to Uruguay

We have received numerous inquiries from individuals interested in applying for temporary or permanent residency in Uruguay. Over the years, we've successfully assisted many students through this process, and we’re well-acquainted with the necessary steps. Whether you are a student or not, we are here to help!

Considering a New Life in Uruguay?

If you're exploring the possibility of relocating to Uruguay, you likely have many questions about what life here entails. It’s a big decision, and understanding the local culture, lifestyle, and bureaucracy is crucial.

Allow me to introduce myself—my name is Margo. I am originally from the Netherlands, and after living in Southern Spain for many years and running La Herradura Language School, I made the move to Uruguay in 2008 with my family.

It would be my pleasure to provide you with detailed insights into what it's like to live in this charming South American country and run a business here. Since 1995, I have managed La Herradura Language Schools, and I bring years of experience both in education and in navigating life as an expatriate.

Experience Uruguay Firsthand

Before making the decision to move to Uruguay, it's crucial to experience the country and its people for yourself. Visiting and spending time here will give you a true sense of the culture, lifestyle, and whether Uruguay aligns with your expectations.

We strongly recommend immersing yourself in the local environment—explore different regions, interact with the community, and get a feel for what daily life is like. To support you in this journey, we offer guidance and Spanish courses at our schools in Montevideo, Punta del Este, or at our Ranch in the inland. These experiences can help you better understand the country and its language, while also offering you a chance to see if Uruguay feels like the right fit for you.

We’re Here to Help

We are excited to share more information about this beautiful country and assist you in securing legal residency. If your schedule doesn’t allow you to attend a course, we invite you to visit us at our head office in Punta del Este or at our Ranch. We would be delighted to meet with you in person and address any questions you might have.
