No immigration quotas, no discretionary rejections of applications by immigration authorities. Neither is the interested party required to make investments in the country.

An important detail about Legal Residence in Uruguay, after having achieved it, is that people can lose their status as «legal resident» if they are absent for more than three years, away from the country, without having returned to Uruguay at least once within that time period.
