A Syrian Uruguayan (Arabic: السوريون في اوروجواي) is a Uruguayan citizen of Syrian descent or a Syrian naturalized Uruguayan. Uruguay has several thousands of people with Arab descent, whose ancestors came mostly from Lebanon; a minority came also from Syria.[1]
As of October 2014, Uruguay is receiving a new immigration flow of Syrian people, this time as a consequence of the Syrian Civil War.[2] 42 Syrian people from five families were received by President José Mujica on 9 October.[3] Because of allegedly insufficient support by the government, some Syrians prostested in 2015 and requested visa to leave the country.[4] One family reportedly tried to leave Uruguay via Serbia in August 2015 but was sent back because of missing visa.[5]
