Residency in Uruguay

Uruguay joined the Hague Apostille Convention in 1992, which is good news if you're coming from the US — since the United States is also a signatory, your documents can be legalized through a simple apostille rather than a longer consular process. Travelers or immigrants from countries that haven't joined the convention still have to go through full consular legalization instead.
