'change visit visa in work permit?' Expat

change visit visa in work permit?

It's mostly a bunch of waiting and nitpicking of the documents by immigration.

So if i came to Uruguay as a visit visa i cane changeit to resident.The problem is that i am not in Romania now, i am workink in Midle East(Bahrain)sens 10 years ago and there is no any Uruguayan Embassy arownd to have some information.

If Romania has consular services here, you can get it through them, or through Buenos Aires.

If you have spent 10 years in bahran... your work experience will also open some eyes at the international hotels here..

What are you doing in middle east? working in hotel management?

(BTW, my grandparents were Romanian.. emigrated to Canada just before he was born :)

autheticated and translated copies of:

birth certificate

marriage certificate

police record

income

Where each document has to be authenticated by the consul with jurisdiction where it was issued.

The police record requirements vary depending on ones nationality. Ie: US citizens need the USA plus where they lived the last 5 yeas. Colombians need a Colombian report plus one from everywhere they have ever lived.

I had lived in Costa Rica so they needed a police report from there. They didn't have a method for me to get it, so immigration here took care of that for me and it took a long time.

No idea on that for Romanians.

I have never stepped foot inside an Uruguayan Consul. I always sent the documents via mail.

Whether the Romanian Embassy in Urugauy can help or not... here is their info:

Romanian Embassy in Montevideo, Uruguay

Embassy of Romania in Montevideo, Uruguay

Echevarriarza 3452

Montevideo

Uruguay

City: Montevideo

Phone: (00) (598) (2) 6220876

Email: ambromvd@adinet.com.uy

That's about a 15 minute walk from where I live.

And here is a link to the countries where Uruguay has an Embassy:

Regarding aboute the residency process, i would like to ask aboute "income", what means?if i came as a visitor first to Uruguay perhaps i will quit my job here so which income i have to declare?

You need to show that you can support yourself which basically means US$500/month of income. The process to permanent residency takes at least a year but would be much longer (almost 2 for me) and another person I talked to said it took him 3.

You'll need to be able to show that income for however long it takes. After you have permanent residency you no longer have to prove your income to immigration.

and during the process time is allowdto go out from Uruguay?

Someone else better address your questions about work. I suppose if you get a visa to work then you're all set.

A foreign national may work in Uruguay under a permanent (Resident) visa, or under one of the temporary visas, for a period lasting the length of the employment contract.

An applicant may work in Uruguay while his or her work permit application and other papers are being processed.

Requirements

A Labour Contract must be executed by the company's Uruguayan affiliate.

The Process

Applicants who enter Uruguay in temporary status may change status to that of resident, provided that the individual has not over-stayed the allowable maximum days allocated as a temporary visitor. The application is made directly with Immigration authorities in Uruguay upon the request of the employee's Uruguayan company.

Can you follow up regarding working under temporary Visas? I have interns coming down from the US who will be on three month contracts, it certainly seems ridiculous for them to initiate any sort of residency process. But I have been unable to find much in the way of information regarding working on temporary visas. In particular: How do I register these workings with BPS, etc.
