How to immigrate to Uruguay

Uruguay is one of the countries that implement the policy of birth citizenship. Therefore, if your child is born in Uruguay, he will automatically acquire Uruguayan nationality. Since both Greece and Uruguay recognize dual citizenship, your child will have dual citizenship of Uruguay and Greece as long as the necessary application procedures are fulfilled.

The policy of birth citizenship, that is, the principle of place of birth, is one of the principles of obtaining original nationality. This means that children born within their national administrative jurisdiction can have the nationality of that country, regardless of whether their parents are citizens of that country or not. Among them, the United States is a typical representative of this policy. However, after Trump took office, he repeatedly released rumors of terminating the policy, which aroused great concern of the international community about illegal immigrants.
