Living in Montevideo
Uruguay · temperate
Montevideo is a big city of roughly 1,400,000 people right by the sea in Uruguay. The climate is temperate. It keeps a balanced mix of locals and visitors with average safety for the region. A typical month of living costs around $1,700. Healthcare is strong, and the internet is fast enough for full-time remote work. People come here for food and eating out, art and culture, live music.
Entro il 2027 qui è atteso un cambiamento concreto: rinnovo della ferrovia centrale e nuovo accesso al porto. Il servizio sanitario pubblico (5/5) è più solido del privato: qui l’assicurazione è un extra, non una necessità. Chi nasce in Uruguay è cittadino, quale che sia la nazionalità dei genitori. Il reddito prodotto all’estero in genere non viene tassato qui.
