Many Uruguayan-born persons live in Bolivia, for a number of reasons. Both countries share the Spanish language; the historical origins of both nations is common (part of the Spanish Empire until the early 19th century); both countries are members of MERCOSUR, there is no need of special migration documents, and geographical vicinity makes circulation easy.

In the decade of the 2010s several Uruguayan investors purchased productive land in Bolivia.[1]

There is an Association of Uruguayan Residents in Santa Cruz de la Sierra.[2]
