Uruguayans in Sweden are people born in Uruguay who live in Sweden, or Swedish-born people of Uruguayan descent. As of 2013, there were over 4,000 Uruguayans living in Swedish territory.

Overview

Since Sweden was and remains a highly democratic country and a net receiver of immigrants, during the civic-military dictatorship of Uruguay (1973–1985) there were several Uruguayans fled to Sweden; this was possible, among others, much because of Ambassador Harald Edelstam. Nowadays there are many Uruguayans who still live in Sweden.

Uruguayan residents in Sweden have their own institutions, for instance, Casa Uruguay in Malmö and the Consultative Councils in Stockholm and Gothenburg.
