WHY CONSIDER INVESTING IN THE GAMBIA?
The immigration office works on an appointment system and appointments are currently being booked many months in advance. Therefore if you decide Permanent Residency in Uruguay is for you, the very first thing you should do in the process is have your immigration consultant book an immigration appointment for you. Do not wait until you have the necessary documents to hand, because then their validity will then probably expire while you await your appointment.
As an added convenience, you have up to one year to hand in your police clearance certificate after your immigration office appointment.
WHY CHOOSE URUGUAY FOR RESIDENCE AND CITIZENSHIP?
- Easy access with direct flights from European and regional hubs.
- In 2016, The Gambia ranked 31 out of 137 countries for Labour Market Efficiency in the Global Competitiveness Index.
- Flexible government offering incentives to foreign investors even for relatively modest projects.
- Gambian Citizenship by Naturalization can be granted after a certain number of years for serious investors.
HOW TO OBTAIN A RESIDENCE PERMIT IN THE GAMBIA?
Here are the documents you need to apply for Permanent Residence in Uruguay:
1. Your current valid passport
2. Police clearance: you must submit a police certificate from your country of birth, and from any country you have lived in during the past five years. This police record cannot be more than six months old, unless a shorter period of validity is shown on the certificate, in which case the shorter period applies.
3. Proof of Income: Income may be demonstrated in a number of ways: for example a pension, dividends, foreign rental income, a work contract with a Uruguayan company, or future business income. As a rule of thumb, a married couple should demonstrate at least US$2,500 monthly guaranteed income. Our Uruguay immigration consultants will review the documents with you in order to make sure they are acceptable for immigration purposes.
4. Medical checkup: A brief medical check-up and doctor’s certificate is required. This can be done in Uruguay. Traditional vaccinations are required, but vaccination against Covid-19 is not obligatory.
5. Six passport sized photos of each applicant. These can be taken on the ground in Uruguay.
6. Birth certificate
7. Marriage certificate if applicable.
All foreign documents such as birth, marriage and police certificates should be recently certified with an apostille or at the Uruguayan consulate in the country of issue, and must be translated into Spanish. Our Uruguay office can assist with these procedures.
