About this source
Uruguay's migration directorate, within the interior ministry. Publishes the requirement list for each residency category on gub.uy, including the Mercosur routes and the means-of-support categories.
Standing: Applies the rule
Cannot be cited for: Like its Argentine counterpart this is the administering agency's own description rather than the law. Uruguay's statute deliberately leaves periods and procedures to regulation, so these pages can change without Ley 18.250 moving at all. The pages do carry their own última actualización date, which is more than most agencies offer.
