If you are filing for a Temporary/Permanent visa, I offer a 100% money back guarantee. That’s right. If I don’t get you your visa, you pay nothing. My name is Isabel Mosquera. I am an Ecuadorian, who studied and lived in Canada for many years. I have been a Visa Facilitator for over 7 years and have assisted more than two hundred and fifty Expats in obtaining their Visas, Temporary and Permanent, Cedulas, Translations, Health Insurance, housing and much more.

Don’t worry, I can help. I offer free consultations, either by telephone, email or in person. I am at the Immigration office on a very regular basis, so I am knowledgeable about all recent changes in the law and am happy to share my knowledge with you.

As an Immigration Lawyer, throughout all these years I have had to confront positions and decisions of certain public institutions, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Human Mobility, the Ministry of the Interior, or the IESS, whether due to misinterpretation of the law, non-compliance with constitutional provisions, errors by these institutions, or any denial of an immigration process or a foreign national’s right.
Dr. Lina Ulloa and her legal team at ULLOA ZAMORA Y DELGADO, in response to a denial based on an absurd interpretation of Article 68 of the Regulations to the Human Mobility Law, concerning the right of a foreign national holding a Permanent Residence Visa 9-II based on real estate investment to substitute the investment with a banking investment in a CD, filed an APPEAL before the higher authority in Quito for the analysis and resolution of the case.
This appeal was filed on February 2, 2026, and on September 14, we were pleased to receive APPROVAL of the request to substitute the investment in real estate for a banking investment in a CD, in compliance with Article 68 of the Regulations to the Human Mobility Law.
Although this resolution is issued under the specific names of two foreign nationals, we can use it for all cases requiring this substitution.

A few seats remain! Reserve now!
Join David and Sandy at Casa Kraft for an intimate evening of great bourbon, authentic Carolina Smokehouse fare, and a relaxed night around the table.
We’ll start with a handcrafted Gold Rush cocktail, then settle in for three exceptional bourbons, each thoughtfully paired with something special from the Carolina Smokehouse kitchen.
Along the way, we’ll have a little fun learning about bourbon—what makes each one different, what to look for in the glass, and especially what happens when you pair it with the right food.
BUFFALO TRACE • GOLD RUSH COCKTAIL
1½ oz Buffalo Trace • Fresh Lemon • Honey
A bright, smooth welcome cocktail paired with an individual charcuterie plate of cured meats, Brie/Camembert and aged Gouda, green apple, fig jam, roasted cashews, pickle and crostini.
KNOB CREEK 9 YEAR • 1½ oz neat
Carolina Smokehouse pulled pork over our house-ground creamy cheddar grits, topped with pickled apple and lightly drizzled with our Carolina barbecue sauce, with a warm mini cheddar biscuit.
WOODFORD RESERVE • 1½ oz neat
Carolina Smokehouse smoked brisket with bourbon-pepper jus and glazed carrot, accompanied by a fresh arugula salad with beet, pear, feta and toasted pistachios.
MAKER’S MARK 46 • 1½ oz neat
Individual Southern pecan pie with a special finishing touch.
Monday, October 5 • 5:30 PM
Casa Kraft • Cuenca
$45 per person • Limited to just 20 guests
Good bourbon. Good food. Good company.
We look forward to sharing our table with you.

Hello to all.
There are changes in the procedures for foreigners who wish to apply for a visa or for foreigners who have a visa but need to make other procedures with that visa, such as transfer, cancellations, obtaining an Ecuadorian ID (cedula) orders, and any other procedures. These procedures were centralized in Quito city, having to do the process online first to receive the instructions to be done.
It is expected that this change will provide a better and more agile service, but we must wait to see the results since it is known unofficially that after the approval of the visa, the process must be completed in the local Immigration office of the expat´s residence.
