Ecuador offers a temporary resident visa to start, from which you can move on to a permanent resident visa.<\/p>\n<p>After 21 months of being a temporary resident and continuously living in Ecuador, you can apply for a Permanent Residency Visa (PRV). Under the Permanent Residency Visa, you are allowed to stay out of the country for up to 180 days during the first two years, each year. After the second year, you can be out of the country for up to 2 years to keep your Permanent Residency Visa status. In a case of non-compliance with this law, a fine of up to 50% of the basic unified salary must be paid. Following the second year, permanent residence holders may remain outside the country for up to two years. If the holder does not return to the country within the two-year time frame, the visa will be canceled.<\/p>\n<p>There are a variety of programs to apply for temporary residence in Ecuador which 3 are listed below. For all the programs listed below the applicant should be aware that they can leave only 90 days per year for the first 2 years to maintain the residency status.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Types of resident visas are as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">1. Pensioner Visa<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0For individuals who receive a stable pension or another form of consistent income of at least 3 minimum Ecuadorian minimum wages [$1275 per month]. You do not have to be 65 years of age or older to qualify for a Pensioner\u2019s Visa. As long as you have an income of $1275\/mo (and $200\/mo for each adult children dependent) coming to you in perpetuity, and you can prove it, you qualify for the Pensioner\u2019s Visa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">2. Inversionista (Investor) Visa<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As of this year, the required investment for each type of investor visa is the same: 100 times the monthly minimum wage.

Your visa agent will know which office is best at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 5: Fill Out and Notarize the Visa Application Form<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The visa application form is in Spanish and must be filled out in Spanish. Once it\u2019s filled out, you\u2019ll need to go to a notary to have it notarized. You need to sign the application in front of the notary after showing him or her your identification.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 6: Submit Your Application<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Once you have your completed visa application form and all the other required documentation with apostilles as needed, go to the ministry office on the date of your appointment to submit your application. You\u2019ll need your passport as identification.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This process is different if your visa will be issued in your home country. Your visa agent will help with that process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 7: Get Your Visa from the Ministry<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Once your visa is approved, the government issues an electronic visa that is digitally attached to your passport number. They no longer attach a physical visa sticker to your passport. Again, if your passport is about to expire, we recommend renewing it first before applying for your Ecuador temporary resident visas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 8: Get a C\u00e9dula<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After receiving your temporary resident visas, took them to the government office in Cuenca to get your c\u00e9dula, as your official government-issued identification card.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It took about an hour to get the c\u00e9dula and the cost was $5. You are not required to get a c\u00e9dula; however, your ex-pat life in Ecuador will be much easier and you\u2019ll have more banking options available to you if you have one. You will need a c\u00e9dula to apply for the public IESS health insurance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>There are lots of steps involved with getting your Ecuador Temporary Resident Visa, and it usually takes 3 to 6 months.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Our_Services\"><\/span>Our Services<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Privacy World offers its services to anyone, not only looking to obtain residency and\/or citizenship processes but our experts figure out legal ways to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Find the best solution for your needs.<\/li>\n<li>Identify and deploy a strategy to help you accomplish your goals.<\/li>\n<li>Activate our network of people in the country where you need help without having you search for the best solution or lawyer.
