I was watching a youtube video about Uruguay and it seem to say that you can apply from Uruguay, is that correct?

100% correct.

You can make the appointment before your arrival though, in order that the process does not stretch too long into your stay.

You will also have a health card and a cedula from very shortly after this appointment. So only benefits to making the appoint for shortly after your expected arrival.

Yes, you arrive on a tourist visa for 3 month extendable to 6.

You can apply for residency whilst in the country but remember some of the document requirements are apostilled Birth/Marriage/financial report/criminal record checks from your origin country, which can take some months to arrange.

I am currently going through the process arrived in DEC
