Shipping Cost from Muscat to Montevideo

Like the rentista visa, with a retirement visa you ship any household items duty-free to the new country. Additionally, you can import a car, bike, or any other vehicle and apply for the Uruguay passport as well.

When importing a car into Uruguay, you need to pay: Import Duty: Typically 20% of the vehicle's CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) value. Value Added Tax (VAT): 22% of the vehicle's CIF value. Customs Processing Fees: Additional fees may apply for processing and handling the import.

The cheapest way to ship a car internationally is generally Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO), where cars drive onto and off the ship, costing around $900-$2,500+ depending on destination, as it avoids packaging and crane costs. For more protection, Shared Container shipping (grouping cars) is the next cheapest, while booking through platforms like Shiply or using companies with price matching, like SGT Auto Transport or Sherpa, can also find competitive rates.
