An Amparo visa is granted to dependents as an extension of somebody who already holds a temporary or permanent visa. These visas are also called “Amparo” (Dependent) visas.
In the new provisions of the law for visas of ´´Amparo´´ under marriage it is necessary that the marriage be registered in Ecuador.

A routine medical consultation may be manageable, but a hospitalization, surgery, or serious emergency can quickly become an expense of thousands of dollars.
That is why good health insurance is not simply about having a policy. It is about being able to access private clinics, medical specialists, emergency care, hospitalization, prescription medications, ambulance services, and other medical benefits when you truly need them.
At BLUEBOX, we work with health plans designed for different ages, needs, and budgets. Our clients can access private medical networks for everyday care as well as more complex medical situations.
Do you have a pre-existing condition? This is one of the main concerns among expats. Our plans include coverage for declared pre-existing conditions. What changes from one product to another is the amount of coverage, waiting period, and applicable terms.
But good coverage is only part of the solution.
BLUEBOX offers exclusive plans, bilingual service, nationwide presence, and extensive experience working with the expat community in Ecuador. We also support our clients when they need to use their insurance, including authorizations, reimbursements, hospitalizations, and claims.
Our goal is simple: help you receive the care you need without facing process alone or unprepared.
Because the true value of health insurance becomes clear when you actually need it.
BLUEBOX: private medical coverage and support when it matters most.

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 look forward to serving you.

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.

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.
