Looking For...
When a foreign citizen uses a real estate property as support for his/her temporary visa, this property immediately acquires a prohibition to sell or transfer also known as “prohibition to alienate”, this figure assures that this property will continue to serve as support for as long as the person holds the temporary visa. However, once the foreign citizen has obtained the permanent visa, he/she can request the lifting of the prohibition of alienation to sell, donate, assign or transfer the real estate in any way he/she wishes, since this prohibition will only be in force until the permanent visa is obtained.
In order to carry out the process of lifting the prohibition of alienation it will be necessary to have a “certificate of encumbrances” issued by the property registry of the city, which will later be submitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Human Mobility so that they, as an authorized Institution, review this request and once it is admitted, order by means of an official letter addressed to the property registrar, the lifting of such prohibition.
If you find yourself in need of selling a real estate property with a prohibition of alienation and you need legal assistance, contact Ulloa Zamora & Delgado Legal Solutions, where you will be assisted by attorney Lina Ulloa, a lawyer with a doctorate in law and specialist in immigration law and real estate.

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. These services are available as one fee package or individually. I own a car, so transportation is always included at no extra charge. I have always gotten my clients their Visas, even under the most difficult of circumstances, such as unreadable fingerprints for FBI reports. Have you moved to Ecuador without the required documents? 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. I will be happy to provide you with references.
I look forward to serving you.

Many insurance plans use a “network”—a limited list of doctors you’re allowed to see. The plans I provide are different. We believe your healthcare decisions should be made by you and your doctor, not by an insurance company’s list. That’s why our plans have no restrictive networks. You have the freedom to choose any licensed doctor or hospital in Ecuador.
This philosophy extends to your recovery. After a hip replacement, for instance, we don’t put arbitrary limits on physical therapy; we cover the sessions you actually need. The same goes for cardiac therapy, pulmonary therapy, and more. Your care should be determined by your health needs, not by a number in a policy.
It’s a different approach to insurance, one built on trust and true freedom of choice.

Gentle. Resilient. Full of love.
At 8 years old, Daphne was abandoned on the streets simply because she became ill. She lives with Cushing’s disease, a condition that requires daily medication—but it has never taken away her sweetness, her calm spirit, or her deep capacity to love.
Wrapped in her cozy sweater, Daphne is affectionate, medium-sized, and ready to be someone’s loyal best friend.
🐾 Right Now, Daphne’s Story Can Go Twice as Far
Through December 31st, every donation is DOUBLED, thanks to a generous matching grant.
That means food becomes two meals, medicine becomes two lifelines, and hope reaches twice as many dogs like Daphne.
🐾 Rescue Is Not for the Weak of Heart
Nor is the mission of building Ecuador’s first modern SuperDogs Sanctuary—a safe, humane haven for Cuenca’s most vulnerable dogs.
For more than 12 years, FAAN has been committed to:
Life-saving rescues
Consistent food & medical care
Spay/neuter initiatives
