Dirección Nacional de Migración (Ministerio del Interior, Uruguay)

Applies the rule

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.

The body that applies the rule and decides applications. It publishes what it requires, which is authoritative about its own practice but is not the text of the law.

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.

Publication rhythm

The gub.uy procedure pages carry their own 'última actualización' date - the Mercosur pages read 12/03/2026 - so this publisher tells you when it last moved, which most do not. Fees are set in Unidades Indexadas and revalued every six months regardless of whether the page changes.

Re-check triggers

Pages we hold
