Mercosur Full Members

The full member states of Mercosur, as Mercosur itself lists them. Bolivia is a full member since 2024, having deposited its instrument of ratification in July of that year under Decision 20/19. Venezuela is a full member whose membership is suspended under article 5 of the Protocolo de Ushuaia - suspended, not associated, which is where we previously filed it. Membership of the bloc is all this group asserts. Whether the Residence Agreement actually reaches a given nationality depends on the destination as much as the origin, and is recorded on each country's own residency-regional-treaty override.
