After graduating from Uruguay, international students can explore post-study work visa options to gain professional experience. Uruguay does not offer a specific post-study work visa, but graduates may apply for a temporary residence visa for work purposes.
To qualify, applicants typically need a job offer from a Uruguayan employer. The employer must sponsor the visa, demonstrating that the role cannot be filled locally. Required documents include a valid passport, degree certification, proof of employment, and a clean criminal record. Processing times vary, but approval allows stays of up to two years, renewable thereafter. Consulting Uruguay’s immigration office for updates is advisable.
