Cuban Uruguayans are people born in Cuba who live in Uruguay, or Uruguayan-born people of Cuban descent. As of 2019, there were 24,485 Cubans living in Uruguay.[1]

Overview[edit]

There are some Cuban-born persons living in Uruguay, for a number of reasons. Both countries share the Spanish language; their historical origins are common (part of the Spanish Empire). Uruguay is a very small, quiet country, where Cuban exiles have looked for a new opportunity as part of a big inflow of Latin Americans coming to Uruguay.[2]

The 2011 Uruguayan census revealed 456 people declaring Cuba as their country of birth.[3] As of 2013, there are just 6 Cubans registered in the Uruguayan social security.[4] Official sources show that over 1,700 Cubans entered Uruguay in 2016.[5] In 2018, 12,648 Cubans entered to Uruguay and left 4,005.

There is a remarkable presence of Cuban ophthalmologists working for the Uruguayan national health system.[6]

Cubans residing in Uruguay run their own association since 1989.[7]
