As you know, Mark and I strongly advocate “auditioning” Uruguay before you make the commitment to move here. It’s also best to choose a time when the weather is not at its best, because we’re talking about a long-term relationship, not a summer beach fling. I just found out that my friend Verónica Pamoukaghlian is renting her two-bedroom Montevideo apartment from August 13 till October 23. This time frame covers the late winter and early spring.
The apartment, located one block from the Rambla comes furnished, with a fully-equipped kitchen. Rent is $850 a month.
Filmmaker and freelance writer Verónica Pamoukaghlian is one of the many expats global wanderers and creatives, who have managed to “do it their way” and carve out a creative niche in Uruguay. If you’re interested, let us know, and we will put you in touch with her.
(Edit: She’s really not an Expat in Uruguay, she’s a real Uruguayan. Except she’s often out of the country so much, as a filmmaker, poet, travel writer, and global digital nomad, that sometime’s it’s hard to remember she’s really from here! LOL)
Hello, I have some questions. I am currently looking at the possibility of moving down there with my family due to work. I am curious as to how much money you would need in order to live down in Uruguay for a family of three. My daughter knows both English and Spanish, but handles English much more… so I would like to know which schools would be good without having to pay for near-college tuition prices for private schools just because they are “American” or “British”. How easy is it to get a work permit. My job is not going to help, although they would give me a letter stating that I have been hired.
Any help would be great.
