Well I am not giving it away, but they can live there rent-free, sure, no sweat for me. I have no use for it. I have another house on another farm I live in when I travel down there. On the next trip I guess I will actually have to stick my nose ... Read More
visas by SeattleMOM
I'm a US citizen and I'd like to be in Argentina for 6 months. Anyone know how easy it would be to get a visa? I would not be working over there.
Just show up. Literally go to the country. They charge you like $120 for a 10 year tourist visa as you arrive at the airport (in dollars please). I wouldn't bother with anything else unless you know you are going to work for someone there. IIRC ... Read More

Hi Ray, I do not think Uruguay is the place for you. yes you can have firearms, but it is not going to be cheap enough for you by any stretch. I would consider other places first. Here are a few of my ideas (and why) though I have not been to ... Read More
short term accomodations upon arrival by PennyScott
I am thinking of traveling to MVD early next year. I need to know of a temporary place to stay. I will not have a car. I need access to transportation and will need to find a more permanent place to stay. I think a roommate situation would be ...
Hi Penny, THE cheapest hotel to stay in MVD is the Hotel Tres Cruces. It is like staying in a college dorm room with lots of hot water. The neighborhood is so-so, and fine during the day but you may want to stay in after 10PM. The Hotel is ... Read More

Uruguay is significantly safer than say Rio, but again, depends on the neighborhood. I have some farms by Libertad (search it on google). Nice little town and only one bus ride from the capital. It is in the Dept of San Jose. The Dept of ... Read More

Uruguay, like most of SA, is not particularly handicapped friendly. In some parts of Montevideo the sidewalks just plain suck, in others they are not so bad. The Rambla, which runs along the waterfront, is generally in very good to excellent ... Read More
Planning to visit uruguay to learn Spanish
Spanish in Uruguay is pretty similar to Castillan spainish from Spain, lots of soft 's' sounds. People often speak fairly quickly. Finally you get some small portuguese influence, but not too much. Words like 'yo' are pronouced more like 'cho', ... Read More

Everyone in Uruguay either seems to know, or is somehow related to someone else. I don't live there but have been told that without a parilla (bbq) to invite neighbors to, you will have no friends. Everything is centered around meals and family. ... Read More
