Overview
There are lots of Bolivian-born persons living in Uruguay, for a number of reasons. Both countries share the Spanish language; their historical origins are common (part of the Viceroyalty of the River Plate, Spanish Empire); there is no need for special migration documents, and circulation is relatively easy. Uruguay is a very small, quiet country, with wide beaches on the Atlantic Ocean, some well-off Bolivians choose Uruguay as their holiday destination, a trend that is expected to grow in the near future.[1] Other Bolivians of a lower social condition come to Uruguay in search of job opportunities, as part of a big inflow of Latin Americans coming to Uruguay.[2][3]
The 2011 Uruguayan census revealed 377 people who declared Bolivia as their country of birth.[4] As of 2013, there are just 30 Bolivian citizens registered in the Uruguayan social security;[5] at the same time, there is a worrying trend of illegal immigration in search for work as domestic servants.[6]
