Living in Uruguay Made Easy for Expats
Discover essential resources for living in Uruguay as an expat. From practical guides and local services to news and everyday tips, we connect you with what you need to adapt and feel at home.
Why UruXpat?
Country guides offer helpful overviews, but they are static and rarely updated.
Expat Facebook groups in Uruguay share valuable tips, but posts quickly get buried in fast-moving feeds.
UruXpat combines both: continuously updated, well-organized information for expats in Uruguay.
Made by Expats, for Expats
UruXpat began as an idea from Robert Ellison, an American expat, and later grew with the contributions of Bruna Pinheiro and Daniel Rodrigues, two Brazilian expats. Inspired by the real challenges they faced while adapting to life in Uruguay, they created this platform to make the journey easier for others. Whether you’re already here or planning the move, UruXpat is built to connect, guide, and support expats in Uruguay.
What UruXpat is NOT:
- A Q&A forum. The Uruguay expat Facebook groups brilliantly fill that need. UruXpat provides links to those groups and many other valuable resources. And we rely on feedback from the same expat community for suggestions of additional topics to cover, new or amended information to be added, and highlighting of any corrections needed - every topic covered is evolving and changing constantly.
- A hotel, restaurant, beach or winery guide. There are already numerous websites, both international and local, including those that incorporate online customer reviews, that cover those areas, as well as tourist attractions, sightseeing, etc. We provide links to a few such resources.
