Uruguay

South America

Uruguay's territorial system and eleven-year tax holiday on foreign financial income make it an attractive base, but a 2026 budget reform expanded IRPF to reach some foreign-source capital gains and yields with the exact scope still unclear. Its digital nomad permit exists but caps out around 12 months total, shorter than the corridor's tax appeal suggests.
