Uruguay diaspora around the world

According to the United Nations, 258,000 people from Uruguay live abroad.

However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born abroad. The real diaspora is therefore larger.

91,500 people from Uruguay live in Argentina, 89,300 Spain, and 27,200 Brazil.

Together, these three countries therefore account for about 81% of the diaspora.

Each country has its own page, with the cities, communities and meetups there.

By continent, the diaspora counts 144,000 people in the Americas, 96,000 Europe, and 9,950 Oceania.

For each continent, a page also gathers the countries and cities where it lives.

Other countries in the Americas also have their diaspora on Compatri: Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, United States, and Brazil. Each page gathers its countries of residence, its cities and its national day.

Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.

You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.

Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.

Every August 25, the national day brings the Uruguay diaspora together. Wherever the diaspora lives, communities also organise concerts, meals and gatherings.
