Posted 6 Dec 2022 Hello everyone, I wanted to create a new topic to avoid talking different ones in the same thread. I'm actually living in Germany for 8+ years and I already got the German citizenship few days ago. The next steps are that we would like to move to Uruguay, maybe temporarily, maybe permanently.. we don't know yet.. There is a chance that we will move without a job, do you know if there is a chance to apply for Arbeitslosengeld while living in Uruguay?, keeping in mind that the Arbeitslosengeld I is for 1 year, would be great to have such money to help us while searching for a job Thank you! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 6 Dec 2022 There is no chance. If you stay within the EU and search for a job, it could be normally paid for 3 months, but that’s it. Here, you have the link in German: https://www.arbeitslosenselbsthilfe.org/alg-1-ausland/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 6 Dec 2022 Sure. BTW- I have been to Uruguay 6 times for holiday, but in recent years it became more and more expensive, also since almost everything except beef is imported. It’s better if you go there, to bring a financial buffer. Emigration always costs money. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 6 Dec 2022 Thanks a lot for the hint!, I'm actually from Argentina, and true.. things in Uruguay got expensive.. but I'm not crazy enough to return to Argentina to suffer with the crisis and violence there, hopefully the financial buffer is enough in Uruguay! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
