The Visa process is a legal issue that must be carefully handled and processed and strictly adhered to the law.

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.

Not only are you attending Gala FAAN-TASTICA, contributing auction items, and volunteering with FAAN, but some of you are graciously inviting your Ecuadorian Friends to join you at this very special event as your guests or through the funding of scholarships. Thank You!
Because the evening is designed for both the Expat and Ecuadorian community and will be fully bi-lingual with the help of our master of ceremonies and radio personality Danny (Mr. D) Tagle, this will be an amazing night for all of our guests and of course, the Dogs of FAAN who are counting on us to help build their new home in Tarqui.
