Dominican Uruguayans are people born in the Dominican Republic who live in Uruguay, or Uruguayan-born people of Dominican descent.^[1]

Overview

There are some Dominican-born persons living in Uruguay, for a number of reasons. Both countries share the Spanish language; their historical origins are common (part of the Spanish Empire). Uruguay is a very small country, where Dominican people have looked for a new opportunity, as part of a big inflow of Latin Americans coming to Uruguay.^[2] Immigration to Uruguay was very easy for Dominicans, as Uruguay was the only country not demanding any entry visas, although the regulation changed in 2014.^[3]

The 2011 Uruguayan census revealed just 50 people declaring the Dominican Republic as their country of birth.^[4] Other sources reveal that not less than 2,500 Dominicans have come to Uruguay in search for a better life.^[5] As of 2013, there are just 9 Dominicans registered in the Uruguayan social security;^[6] at the same time, there is a worrying presence of Dominican prostitutes in Uruguay.^[7] Other official sources show that over 2,000 Dominicans obtained Uruguayan identification documents in 2016.^[8]
