Judging from the phone calls and conversations I have had, it seems as if some people just don’t understand (or refuse to understand?) plain English.
In my previous post, I quoted attorney Mark Teuten as saying, in part, that housebhold goods…”can be brought in free of tax within 6 months of the grant of permanent residence.” […]
For months there has been a discussion regarding rules on bringing household goods into Uruguay duty-free. As usual, there are many conflicting sources–even among the various websites hosted by the Uruguayan government and its consulates in various countries.

As much as I love living in Uruguay, there are some things that I don’t like. (Of course, I might even complain about the choice of music sung by the heavenly choirs in the celestial realms…)

The Copperhead was the first one of our group to file for his residency and get his “in tramite” visa. I was second, and Borko, who showed up a year later, was last.
On Monday I collected my new permanent Cedula at the DNIC. On Friday, exactly 1 year after arriving in Uruguay, or […]
More than 15 days after arriving at the port of Montevideo, and some 12 days later than I was promised by the “professional” whom I had hired specifically to handle the matter, I have my van. I almost had it yesterday—in fact, Borko was even called to the port to pick it up. […]
Today Santiago and Mikey had a meeting with a senior official in Government regarding the work we have been doing promoting Uruguay.

One of the […]
I received an email earlier today from the well-known travel author Lee Harrison, who is now living in Punta del Este. Lee is an authority on offshore life and is also a reader of this blog. He was kind enough to pass on the following very important information.

Given a choice of writing this post or chewing glass, I would prefer the latter. Nevertheless, I can see no way to avoid my clear duty to de-recommend people I have done so much to promote in the past on these very pages.
With great sadness, I must announce that Miguel and Fatma Silva have […]
After months of waiting, the printed version of “The Southron’s Guide to Living in Uruguay” is finally available online at: http://www.lulu.com/content/579686.
This is a full-sized, 8½ x 11 inch paper back, with color covers and black-and-white inside. Because of its large size is much easier to read than the pocket-sized edition produced locally. The price for […]
