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.

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.

According to current regulations, the minimum income for retiree and pensioner visas must be three times the basic salary of a worker in Ecuador. This year, the basic salary is $482, therefore the minimum income for retirees and pensioners is $1,446. If you do not meet this income requirement, you will not be eligible for a two-year temporary residence visa in these categories.
For any questions or concerns regarding this information or any other immigration categories, please contact Dr. Lina Ulloa, an immigration attorney with over 20 years of experience.
