Coming to Uruguay

Working in Uruguay

A small market, salaries in pesos and labour law close to what you already know — with a few differences that matter.

Work permit

A foreigner with a residency application in progress can already be hired, using the provisional ID card.

Hiring sectors

Technology, agribusiness, port logistics, tourism and financial services — in that order.

Salary and contributions

BPS contributions, a thirteenth salary paid in two instalments and holiday pay released before the holiday.

Remote work

Anyone serving clients abroad and paid in foreign currency has its own tax treatment — confirm with an accountant.
