8 Easiest Cities in the World to Get a Digital Nomad Visa in 2025

6. Montevideo, Uruguay — A new 2025 program aimed at Americans

Uruguay launched a remote-worker program in 2025 that specifically appeals to U.S. applicants seeking a simple initial stay combined with friendly local services. Research highlights a six-month initial authorization that can be extended in many cases, and notes that the program is designed for straightforward entry with an in-country application path available after arrival. That “tourist first, apply locally” approach reduces up-front friction for travelers who prefer to confirm a base before finalizing paperwork. Montevideo offers the infrastructure many nomads need: dependable internet in central neighborhoods, a growing number of coworking venues, and a stable, walkable urban environment on the Río de la Plata. Because this program is new, official guidance and local service providers are rapidly expanding, which helps applicants find translation and document-prep assistance. If you plan to try Uruguay’s route, factor in a short period for local registration and allow time for any extension requests if you decide to stay beyond the initial term.
