The cost of living is relatively low compared to North America and Western Europe, but it's higher than in other South American countries. Uruguay has a stable economy and political climate, which makes it a safe place to live. The healthcare system in Uruguay is of a high standard, with both public and private options available. Expats can access this healthcare system, but it's advisable to have comprehensive health insurance. Salto is known for its hot springs, parks, and historic buildings, offering a relaxed lifestyle. The climate is temperate, with warm summers and mild winters. However, it can be humid which might be uncomfortable for some people. Uruguay has a residency program that allows foreigners to become residents if they can prove a steady income. After becoming a resident, you can apply for citizenship after five years. The food in Uruguay is heavily meat-based, with beef being a staple in the Uruguayan diet. Vegetarians and vegans might find it challenging to adjust. Public transportation in Salto is reliable, but many expats choose to drive. If you plan to drive, you should know that you can use your home country's driving license for the first year, after which you'll need to obtain a Uruguayan one. Uruguayans are known for their friendly and welcoming nature, but like any other place, it's important to respect the local customs and traditions. Lastly, while Uruguay is generally safe, petty crime like pickpocketing and bag snatching can occur, so it's important to take standard precautions to protect your belongings," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Salto, Uruguay.
