List of things to be done before leaving u.s. For uruguay.

9 years ago
Hello expats,

I bought a house in uruguay. I shipped my container. I am in the u.s. Right now, but my flight to Montevideo leaves September 8th. This post is a request for suggestions of all the things I need to do between now and then.

My goals are to open an account at either the brou or itau bank so money can be transferred monthly, and to gain residency status.... Uruguayan passport. I would also like to buy a van and have my internet turned on. My Spanish is still terrible.

I will have my birth certificate and container packing list apostilled at the consulate in NYC.

I am concerned about mandatory vaccinations. I have been fully vaccinated, but how do I create a document which will prove that to the authorities?

Can I buy heirloom seeds there, or should I try to bring them with me? I know, I know that is frowned upon, so I'm hoping that they can be purchased there.

What documents to I need to have notarized here? Tax returns? How/where do my documents get translated? Which ones?

Interpol?
Tetanus?

What am I overlooking?

Thanks to everyone. I am bringing my mother Diann, my brother Alex and an amazing German carpenter/remodeler whose name is Matt. We cannot wait to be there and settle in. Looking forward to eventually meeting everyone.

Peace to all.
