The Bureau of Immigration publishes decision lists. Search the application number on the official receipt, not just your surname. A matching entry does not replace document collection or BI implementation instructions.
Official sourceThe virtual company session covers EP, PVP and RPT questions. Register through ESD; one employee per company and limited places. The next listed date is 14 October 2026. This is a consultation, not expedited approval.
Official sourceOn 3 September, Canelones renewed its migration-service agreement for two years. Ciudad de la Costa has a Centro Cívico office; check the schedule and available procedures for mobile MigraMóvil visits. A capital-city trip may be unnecessary, but confirm the appointment and service first.

Not simply to take a flight. An assistance dog performs trained tasks for a person with a disability; a guide dog is one type. Ordinary pets and emotional-support animals do not automatically qualify. An online certificate cannot replace training and eligibility.
Confirm recognition and forms with the operating carrier on each segment. US routes may require a DOT transport form and, on flights of eight hours or more, a relief attestation. Recognised assistance dogs travel free in the EU under applicable rules; notify at least 48 hours ahead.
Check the carrier’s available option: cabin, hold or cargo. Confirm combined carrier-and-animal weight, carrier dimensions, breed restrictions and a reserved pet place before buying a non-refundable ticket.
Turkish Airlines asks for arrangements at least 48 hours ahead; its psychiatric-service-dog policy specifically describes Istanbul–US sectors, while connections may follow ordinary pet rules. THAI also requests at least 48 hours’ notice and training evidence; ESA-acceptance statements on its pages conflict with DOT rules, so we do not treat ESA acceptance as verified.
Entry and transit veterinary documents are separate requirements: assistance status does not remove them.
Implant or verify the microchip before rabies vaccination. A primary vaccination generally requires at least a 21-day wait.
For departure from outside the exemption list: sample at least 30 days after primary vaccination; use a designated laboratory and obtain at least 0.5 IU/ml.
Current detailed Commission guidance requires at least 90 days between sampling and health-certificate issuance. Do not reduce this to “three months before the flight”: the certificate date matters too.
Requirements depend on departure country, vaccination history and applicable exceptions. EU rules do not replace carrier conditions. European Commission · 2026/135 · applies from 22 April 2026
Before leaving, list property, banking, document collection and representation tasks. Agree scope, term and accepted form with a notary and recipient. Do not grant unrestricted property powers unnecessarily.
Request the coldest and hottest month’s bills, each bedroom’s heating type and any shared-system operating rules. Inspect damp behind furniture and check noise in the evening.
A refundable deposit is not monthly living cost, but the cash is needed upfront. Compare annual insurance as premium/12, while including the full payment in starting cash.
