Ecuador did not change the visa requirements, only the system.
A few months ago, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs presented a new system for submitting online visa applications.
This has not modified the visa requirements; the implementation of visa requirements is only for Chinese nationals.

Pool health insurance plans, while offering many advantages, can also raise several concerns among policyholders. Understanding these concerns is essential for making informed decisions about your health coverage. One major concern is the stability of premiums. Pools plans are designed to stabilize premiums over time by spreading the risk among a large group of individuals. Another common concern is the scope of coverage and benefits provided by pool plans. Pool health insurance plans typically offer comprehensive coverage, including: Hospitalization, Outpatient Services, Prescription Drugs, Emergency Services, etc. Despite this, policyholders may worry about potential limitations or exclusions. It is essential to review the plan details and discuss specific concerns with your broker. Policyholders may worry about the financial stability of the insurance pool itself. Ensuring that the insurance provider is reputable and financially sound can alleviate these concerns. Brokers play a key role in selecting stable and reliable providers. Also, there is fear that high-risk individuals in the pool might lead to reduced benefits or higher costs. However, the principle of risk sharing helps balance these costs, making it more feasible to provide comprehensive coverage to all members. The presence of high-risk individuals in the pool can be a concern. Changes in coverage terms or provider networks can be unsettling. Staying informed about your plan and maintaining open communication with your broker can help you navigate these changes effectively.

In order to buy real estate in Ecuador it is important to know that the purchase can only be made through a Public Deed granted by sellers and buyers in a Notary’s office in Ecuador. After the purchase-sale deed is granted at the Notary’s Office, it must be entered in the Property Registry so that the purchase is registered in the name of the buyers.
It is necessary to be aware that if you want to buy real estate, a private contract won’t work even if you have witnesses signing with the buyers and sellers since the law establishes that the only valid document that demonstrates an act of purchase and sale of real estate or a vehicle is through a public deed in the case of real estate; and, contract in the case of vehicles, granted in any Notary of Ecuador.

Despite its low visibility in mainstream culture, this cactus holds significant importance in native healing practices. and is fast becoming recognized by modern medicine for its ability to treat long-standing ailments such as: PTSD, addiction, depression and anxiety.
The primary agent for healing is the psychoactive compound in San Pedro is mescaline, which affects dopamine, adrenaline, and serotonin production. Described by many as “dreamy,” the San Pedro medicine experience includes gentle euphoria and heightened tactile sensations. Effects begin within 2-3 hours of ingestion and can last 10-14 hours, facilitating deep introspection and clear, energizing experiences. San Pedro also allows for brain rewiring and a period of neuroplasticity lasting up to three weeks post-ingestion..
Known originally as Huachuma or Aguacolla in Quechua, San Pedro is revered for healing the heart and strengthening connections to nature and community. Symbolized as a loving, paternal energy, it is associated with San Pedro, the saint believed to hold the keys to heaven. This Andean cactus offers a subtle approach to psychedelic healing, making it a treasure of local medicine.
For those interested in experiencing San Pedro, here are three simple recommendations for an enjoyable experience:
