Tips for travelers

This are a few helpful tips for intending travelers from Nigeria. In order to remain safe and sound it is advisable to bear the following in mind when visiting or residing in Uruguay:

• First and foremost when moving to Uruguay, you need to be prepared for a different kind of weather, very different from what you have been used to in Nigeria. There’s a lot of cold during the cold seasons, and the strong winds also deserve your attention.
• The capital of the country is Montevideo. There are many wonderful cities in Uruguay but we specially suggest that you visit Montevideo if you’re going there for schooling or for opportunities. Many Nigerians are also in the city to assist you and put you through
• Our reasons for specifying Uruguay for you to visit as a Nigerian are numerous, but one of the most important reasons is that Uruguay is a considerate and tolerant country. You can enter Uruguay with the normal tourist visa and proceed to look for a job in Uruguay, before applying for a permanent resident permit once you have found a job, unlike many other countries
• Make sure you respect the customs, religion and culture of the Uruguayans
• Always dispose off dirt and litter properly. Doing the “Naija style” whereby you dump dirt anywhere you like can lead to your persecution
• Learning some simple terms like greeting and showing appreciation in the local language of the country will go a long way to win people’s hearts for you
• Avoid urchins and thugs whenever you find any
• Take permissions before taking pictures of things, people, and properties
• The visa application process can take between 1 to 4 weeks so you need to be patient
• If you do everything correctly and legally be assured that there’s a very high chance of success for you. Exercise no fears nor doubts
