We want to introduce you to our latest "find" here in Uruguay.
She is Marcela Ponce Menendez.
Marcela is experienced in obtaining legal residency for newcomers arriving in Uruguay. She can tell you what steps you need to take, help you with your medical exam, and guide you successfully through the process. She speaks both English and Spanish with proficiency.
She also offers another service that we consider helpful to newcomers with limited or non-existent Spanish-speaking skills. Often, along with being linguistically challenged, new residents are handicapped in negotiations because we don't understand the culture and how things work here. Add to this the fact that locals are often blinded by imaginary dollar signs when they hear an English accent and may attempt to adjust the prices accordingly.
That's why it can help to have a local translate and even negotiate for you when it comes to renting or even buying here or handling other business matters. We can recommend Marcela.
A native-born Argentine, she has lived in Uruguay for the past 20 years. She is a graduate of Enterprise Argentina University in Buenos Aires and her fees are very reasonable.
She will also teach you to speak Spanish, once you are here, having taught professionally in private schools.
