On March 19, Osho travels to Uruguay where he is granted a three-month visa thanks to a well-connected sannyasin.
Once again he starts giving talks, twice a day. These talks are very intimate as only his household is present.

On June 14, the government has scheduled a press conference to announce that Osho will be granted permanent residence in Uruguay. Uruguay’s President Sanguinetti later admits that he received a telephone call from Washington, DC the night before the press conference. He is told that if Osho is allowed to stay in Uruguay, the six billion dollar debt Uruguay owes to the US will be due immediately and no further loans will be granted. Osho is ordered to leave Uruguay on June 18.
