Salaam , I would like to have a second passport and I want someone to Assist me in this. I want to know about Uruguay, its economy and how can one do business over there how are the people and government. what is the best pleace to sattle down in Uruguay, Thanks and Regards, |
| "What for?"
What's the need for a second passport? You won't have an Uruguayan passport unless you become a citizen. So the first question would be, what are your ideas and targets about migrating to Uruguay? We cannot help you if we don't have more information about your skills and interests. |
| "Home Country"
Many seem to not trust their home country. Khan seems not to be "American, " but for Americans it seems to be a two possibilities:1) travel without being flagged American, ie: in the middle east or other areas that the American Politics might not be considered friendly, and/or 2) a feeling that the United States is heading into a dictatorship and a second passport would provide an option to avoid such a possibility. |

An individual can buy a Dominican* citizenship and passport legally for 75k U$S plus fees with a special family deal for 100k U$S under the Economic Citizenship Programme. Nevis and St Kitts offers similar services but it costs rather more. *Commonwealth of Dominica rather than the Dominican Republic |
| "Irish and loving it now"
Since my Spanish is good, but not perfect I found a solution to this very dilemma. Turns out that all four of my Grandparents were Irish citizens. If only two of them were Irish, I'd still qualify for Irish citizenship.So, having an Irish passport and an Uruguayan one as backups for my U.S. one seems like a good idea to me. And that is for both of the reasons you cited Lee. So, I've got my Residency, and my understanding is that in 3 years, because my wife is Uruguayan, I can apply for the Citizenship. Is that correct? Or, do I apply now, and wait 3 years? Does anyone have any more detail on this issue? P |
Comment #607/04/10 10:22Rural east Colonia departmento | "Irishness"
My Irish passport has never let me down. Everybody loves us (except for the Brits between 1970 and 1990)... even the Iranians :-) I was planning to apply for ROU citizenship myself but Lorenzo's new tax laws have caused me to come over all Irish... even though my countrymen have sold their souls to the Eurempire in exchange for euro credits. According the the manager of my local DNIC, the process would involve swearing allegiance on a certain day at the local high school and submitting paperwork to the courts. I think you can apply after 3 years of legal residency if you are married and 5 years if you aren't. I don't know whether having a Uruguayan spouse makes any difference. |
| "3 it is then"
So, you're probably right, heard the same from two other people. On the Irish one, I guess I need to go to Buenos Aires for an Embassy, is that right? They don't have a Consulate here I suppose? At least I didn't find one in the phone book. Have Fun! :>) |

"On the Irish one, I guess I need to go to Buenos Aires for an Embassy, is that right? They don't have a Consulate here I suppose? At least I didn't find one in the phone book."Bs As it is. The combination Irish embassy and consulate for Argentina, Chile, Bolivia and Paraguay is situated in a well-fortified office on the 6th floor of the Edificio Bluesky, Avenida del Libertador 1068, Recoleta, Buenos Aires just a short taxi ride from the Buquebus terminal. I've always found them very helpful and a link to their website is below. Its a far cry from the fading grandeur of the British embassy in MVD. You'd almost expect Sir Sydney Ruff-Diamond to step through the door wearing a cocked hat with a plume :-) |

... I should have added "And Uruguay" after Paraguay. |

Thanks Patrick.>)A lot of the data they ask for is going to take quite some time to gather together. Just sent a request to my sister for some of it. I can barely hang onto photos, let alone Birth, Marriage, Death Certificates and old Passports! But I'm going to sort my way through it as rapidly as I can. ~P |
Comment #1107/05/10 10:20Rural east Colonia departmento | "Not so easy these days"
Getting the Irish passport is a lot more difficult than it used to be... especially if the grandparents were born before 1922. The difficulty stems from when the IRA occupied the Fourcourts in Dublin and the British navy shelled them at the request of the Freestate government during the civil war. Most of the nation's records were destroyed so it can be difficult to prove the place and date of birth of an ancestor. In some cases the only way to prove your case is to search individual parish records for baptismal certificates. |
| "I need consulate or embessy nearest to Pakistan"
Dear Hi I can't find any consulate or embessy in Pakistan or nearest so how i can legelazed all documents before apply?? Its very hard for me Izhar Khan-Pakistan |
Comment #1307/16/10 09:13Rural east Colonia departmento | "Nearest consulates"
As far as I know there is no Uruguayan consulate in Pakistan. The closest ones would be the Uruguayan Embassy in New Delhi, India and the Uruguayan Consulate in Tehran, Iran but I realise that both places aren't easy for you to visit. On the other hand there is a Pakistani consulate in Uruguay. I suggest that you mail them for advice about where you should go to legalize your Pakistani papers.

| "Ministry of External Affairs"
You can also present your papers are the Ministry of External Affairs in Montevideo and they will send them to the consul where needed for legalization.It is a SLOW process. I've been waiting 4+ months, so get something legalized in another South American country. |
| "Police Reports"
My wife and I have lived in the U.S. for the last 5 years, but with trips to Thailand, sometimes for as long as 9 months. My wife is Thai and already has a police report from Thailand. Do I need one or could I get by with just the U.S. because I always had an address here. It would take two weeks to a month to get one in Thailand, but from here or from Uruguay I imagine it could take a long, long time. |
| "Good Question!"
I don't think anyone could venture a guess. If you are a resident in Thailand then I would say it would be a good idea to get it. If your passport just reflects a lot of travel, I'm not sure that is included.In my case I was a resident of Costa Rica and they had no procedure for me to get my police report from Costa Rica, Uruguayan immigration did it themselves. It took a long time, maybe 8 months... but it was them doing it, I did nothing but give an extra copy of my finger prints to immigration. |
