Uruguay is a small country, with wide beaches on the Atlantic Ocean, so many well-off Paraguayans choose Uruguay as their usual holiday destination, some of them even as permanent residence. Other Paraguayans of a lower social condition come to Uruguay in search of job opportunities, as part of a big inflow of Latin Americans entering Uruguay.[5][6]

The 2011 Uruguayan census revealed 1,781 people who declared Paraguay as their country of birth.[7] As of 2013, there are some 150 Paraguayan citizens registered in the Uruguayan social security.[8] As of 2007, there were over 1,000 Uruguayans living on Paraguayan territory,[9] a figure that notably increased a decade later.[10]

Paraguayan residents in Uruguay have their own social and cultural association.[11] Uruguayan residents in Paraguay have their own institutions, for instance, the Consultative Council "José Gervasio Artigas" in Asunción.[12][13]

Economic relations

As of 2014, bilateral trade is prosperous and improving.[4] In the decade of the 2010s there have been several Uruguayan investors purchasing productive land in Paraguay.[14]
