How are you doing?
I really hope you’re doing well. I’m relieved as I got my second vaccination this week 💪🏻💪🏻. I hope you’re doing well where you are.
This week I received a couple of emails which made me realise that I have some information that for some people will be life changing 😱. Specifically if your life has been on hold 😩😩because you were planning to move to Uruguay or visit for an extended period of time. So I'd better not wait for you to find it on the website, but should write to you directly.
You’ll be more than aware the borders in Uruguay have been closed for over a year to everyone except citizens, residents and some exceptions. One of those exceptions is for students. 👓 And what might be surprising to you--it is to most people--that includes Spanish language classes.
We wrote about this on our website after learning about the opportunity from Academia Uruguay, a language institute we’ve recommended forever.
Yup, the Ministry of the Interior is providing special entry permits (permisos de ingreso, as they are called) to attend classes.
One reader wrote to say that after months of fruitless efforts trying to contact consulates, and wondering when they would ever get to start their new life in Uruguay, they almost couldn’t believe it when they booked classes at the Academia and their travel permit was granted in just three days 😮😮. They’re currently quarantining in an apartment in Montevideo and excited to start their classes next week (unfortunately they’ll be online because our case numbers are still high – but still, they’re here!)
The Academia has been helping students of all ages and backgrounds get permission to travel to Uruguay for study. You can find all the details here (read the comments too—illuminating!).
Of course if you want to move to Uruguay, you need the language. And Uruguay needs more people to come live and invest. It’s also meaning the difference between sink and swim for Academia Uruguay.
If this is a game changer for you, I’m so happy to be the bringer of the good news. 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
