Hi there,
This blog is amazing first of all as it is helpful but I was not able to get any information that will help me in my personal circumstances.
I am about to travel to Uruguay (Feb 10th 2023 and was hoping to set up a non resident bank account where I transfer little bit of my savings every month from the UK. I am planning to get myself set up financially as I travel around South America a lot.
Are you able to help me set up a bank account within a day or two? If so, what do I need to get done before I go?
Many Thanks,
Yoshi
Hi Yoshi, thanks for the kind words. We’ll write to you directly. Cheers Karen
