9 months per year for two years to get a permanent residency is already very long for a frequent traveler. I hope in the future they can be more flexible. I love Ecuador for my plan B of my portfolio. 👍😉🔺
Does every document need to be apostilled individually or can they all be done with one? Or can some be bundled such as education related? e-Apostille, digitally signed & eVisa?
The law changed in 2021 allowing only 90 days of being outside of Ecuador in total over two years (not each year) if you want to apply for a permanent visa from a temporary visa. If you believe differently, I’d love more info about how to do it as we are renewing temporary visa status now because of that law change.
Great video. But wanted to add something which she didn't mention that I found out from researching. Real estate investor visa, The requirement is 100x the minimum wage which is currently at $450, so $45k, but if that changes next year and goes up, then your real estate investment needs to equal that minimum to continue qualifying to renew your temporary residency until you get permanent. Its a small catch, but important. So almost best to purchase something a bit more expensive.
Hello Ladislas, I enjoy your videos. Could you please mention which passport holders can obtain residency, not just North Americans? And what about middle east or indian etc,.. Including this information in each video would be very helpful. Thank you!
I'm still a little confused. What if i just want to purchase a home there fully paid and kinda live out the rest of my life on that property what would i need? Im 30.
Which nationalities are eligible for these visas? I know their tourist visas are super hard to get for the unfortunate few, requiring approval from Quito and costing hundreds of USD.
Let’s assume that if you have visa free access, you should be fine. If you do not have visa free access as is, they will make your residency application complicated.
Does the credit card only apply to Professional Visa? Can a lower Credit card, let's say $1,000, along with a $1300 government pension check be enough to qualify for a Retirement visa or does a Credit Card not ab;e tpo supplement income on a retirement visa? Just curious as I have 2 credit cards with fairly high limits but just my pension check is too low for a retirement visa.
Hello. Thinking of moving after my divorce and bankruptcy is discharged. My intentions are to work online for a american company by home based internet. My questions are Does spousal support count as proof of income to get temp residency? Does having a discharged bankruptcy effect approval for temp residency? Bad credit, due to Bankruptcy effect approval?
In practice no, plenty of accountants, immigration lawyers etc in Ecuador still insist there is no legislation to collect offshore personal income tax there but if you listen to certain "experts" they will tell you otherwise
Any restrictions on pr on behalf of marriage, to live out from Ecuador? After getting pr still it will be invalid if pr holder stay out from the country?
Excellent video, there's one thing that I didn't hear clarified. I've read that we need a newly issued (less than 6 months) original copy of our birth certificates and or marriage certificates. Is this the case?
Hi Ladislas, I have an Ecuadorian friend down there--Is the last option possible or do I need to be in a relationship with her? & if someone were to not do the 6 months X 2 they'd lose the PR, but if they fail to do the 9months X 2 they can still renew the TR? Cheers!
Nice video.thanks for the update. But I’d like to ask since My passport is visa free to Ecuador for 90 days but can I change that upon arrival as in to become a legal resident or do I have to return to my country first before reapplying?
I would like to get permanent residency in Ecuador but I understand that my UK Pension when I get it in one years time will not increase each year while living there as it would if I lived in the UK. Please could you let me know if I've got this right?
I believe that is correct. It's quite annoying (and illogical) because most people will have contributed to the economy for 30+ years to "earn" their UK pension and the fact that they are living abroad means that they would not be a drain on the UK economy as many other pensioners would be (Pension credit, healthcare, housing etc).
@@PeteH0121 Thank you Pete for answering my question. I suppose after someone gets their UK pension they can stay a UK resident and just move around a few Countries for three months in each Country or so, so three months in Mexico then three months in Cuba then three months in Ecuatore etc for a few years if they wanted, and still get their increase in their UK pension.
It's all interesting, but from many locations, especially Canada, traveling back and forth to and from Ecuador is very difficult! Changing planes two or more times in north America and then another couple of times in Ecuador...for older people especially it's a major challenge! It's very discouraging....
@@TheWanderingInvestor But nowadays people travel alot especially back and forth to the US, and the current airline paths to Ecuador cities makes the situation very difficult, especially for older people. It's very discouraging. Changing planes can involve several hours of waiting. Like going from Calgary Alberta via Toronto to Miami, changing to Quito, then changing to Guayaquil, and then Cuenca....plus getting to Vilcabamba or Manta! And traveling back for family etc. Or just as a snowbird!
