Answer
Estimates indicate that more than 20 people from the 2022 wave of emigration have already obtained Uruguayan citizenship. This shows that the path remains open to new migrants and can be successfully completed in practice.
However, the number alone does not describe the circumstances of every case. Applicants may differ in marital status, income, residence, document package, filing date, and review time. The figure is therefore useful as an indication of scale, not as a forecast of an individual timeframe.
For your own plan, it is more important to consider the full route: life in the country, legalization, demonstrating a lasting connection with Uruguay, Spanish-language communication skills, and readiness to wait without being tied to a rigid deadline.
