Moving to Uruguay in the future

7 years ago

Hello, I just found this site and think its very interesting. WE are a couple living in the US and planning to retire in a few years. Now we are thinking that we should retire in Uruguay, being that I was born there and my whole family lives there, we are alone and while its is ok when you are young its king of sad when you are old and you don't have anybody around but your spouse. So now we are thinking what a big project it is to move your whole life to another country! I forgot how difficult it was for me when I decided to come here, 23 years ago, but I was young and the only thing I brought with me was my huge desire to make it work in another country, nothing else. But now is different. WE will sell out house when the time comes and will buy there. How do you move the money? I can open an account at Bco de la Republica joint with my brother who would help us in anything, I trust him completely. But how do you move your money from Bank of America here to Banco Republica there? Also is it worth it to take a container with our furniture? I know me by being born there it going to be easier in many aspects. Also we would like to bring a car and maybe a motorcycle. I appreciate any tip or info you guys can give us!
