Thanks for the input on this topic.  Does obtaining residency require using a lawyer?

It probably depends a great deal on where you are coming from. You will need your birth certificate and police certificate legalized in your home country then translated (if it isn't in Spanish) and notarized  here in Uruguay. The police certificate is only valid 6 months from the date of issue until you enter Uruguay. I was advised that mine was out of date so I paid £55 for a new one, had it legalized for £30 together with a £20 courier fee. At my residency appointment, the immigration officer said that the old one was valid because I had entered within 6 months of the date of issue.

For your residency interview, you will also need your carne de salud which you get from a clinic, your vaccination record, which must include tetanus, foto carne which is just a handful of passport size photos and proof that you won't be a financial burden to Uruguay. I don't know the requirement s for someone coming to work but as a retiree, I had to have a house costing no less than US$100,000 or purchase that amount of Uruguayan government debt and have a verifiable income of US$1,500 per month. As you don't speak Spanish, you will need an interpreter with you at the initial interview. I paid US$50 for one.

Hello,  My name is Diego, I'm Uruguayan living in Montevideo.
I can be your interpreter for your migration interview, as Coloniaman explains.
I have some immigration background, as I work for a foreign Consulate here.

Hello,

We hope to come to Uruguay on October 21st, very early in the morning.  We would like to get a lot done in two weeks.  We could use a good interpreter and a resource person.  If you are both of these you are our man. 

How much do you charge per hour?  How much do you charge if we would hire you for a full day?  We hired a consular employee in Mexico and she was a great help.

Thank you and all the best!

Armin

@ColoniaMan

Thank you so much for the overview.

I have three questions to points that I can not wrap my head around.   May I?

1)  I have never been to many countries including living and working in some.  I never need an immunization record.  I have one from my childhood and the some loose sheets.  Would these all neeed to be transalted and apostilled or could I just get the tetanus shot and get that documented and apostilled?

2)  We (both or one of us) have lived for more than 6 months in at least three countries during the last five years.  I read that US citizens can get Interpol certificates in Montevideo.  Is this also possible for people who are neither residents nor citizens of the USA.

3)  We need to get birth and marriage certificates from various countries including Ukraine.  I have no idea how well everything functions in Ukraine nowadays (it was perfect when we got married there, but now).  Are there any exceptions.  We have a legalisation from the Canadian Consulate based on certifications by the Ukrainian Ministry of the Interior and the Exterior ...

Very detailed questions I know.  Perhaps to specific.  But the world is getting more complicated.  I have thought of using a lawyer although I am not bad with legal things, have even helped (successfully) a few people with immigrating to Canada.

You will definitely need a professional to clarify all this and help you here.  The governmental officers are quite provincial and square-minded.  You have to bring EVERYTHING  apostilled and then you will have to pay a local  (don't translate before coming since they only accept Uruguayan translators) professional translator before you submit your documents.  You will also need LOTS    OF PATIENCE since everything here is slooooow.  They never accepted my PhD even though it was apostilled because they disagree with the way they make the apostilles in Puerto Rico.

Haha. Welcome to Uruguay. I promise that in two years time you will manage to be as slow.

@armin31
