    Well, person in question is a software engineer and can work remotely, so I’m sure she’d find a way to keep her current job. Pretty sure our country has a taxation treaty with Uruguay. Matter of fact, same for me - I was already planning on moving to the canary islands to work remotely till I had a bit of a surprise pregnancy dumped on me. For me it was the weather, not social or political reasons though. The nights are -20C and colder for the last 2 weeks, which is actually preferable to the usual muddy winters we have lately, where it’s cold even if it’s not freezing, and also muddy and nasty and dark.

    What kind of income do you need to have to actually live comfortably there?

      I keep thinking about this but not getting to a decent universaly transferrable amount because I am in a bizarre situation of being the sole breadwinner with wife and child, but not paying rent, but having ongoing medical expenses.

      But fuck it , “live comfortably” as a single person? Let’s just ballpark it to 100k UYU monthly. Maybe more, maybe less.

      Good luck with the kid!
