I've no objections to immigration setting an income figure of whatever they feel an immigrant might need but I reckon the old system of stating a precise figure is a much better approach that using a non-specific phrase like "enough to live." The two of us spend itro 3k U$S a month but my neighbour Alberto, his wife and 7 children get by on 1200 U$S/month.
As for the future taxing of foreigners' foreign incomes, nobody knows. Lorenzo and Juan Fischer have both made comforting noises about what may/may not happen and whether it will happen at all but when it comes to tax regulations, the devil is in the detail. Lorenzo has said that he won't tax income that has already suffered 12% or more tax by foreign authorities but he hasn't said what will happen if say 10% tax has already been charged. He also hasn't said whether income which falls within foreign tax free allowances will be taxable here nor whether the standard Uru tax free allowances will apply to a foreigner's foreign income. Its yet another example of the current administration's unfortunate skills when it comes to uncertainty and obscurity.

For the nonspellers: Urugauy and Monte Video is Montevideo (monte-vid-day-o), real estate agents are "Inmobiliaria", and of course Uruguay is not spelled Uraguay. 4232586105
