Ecuador: influx/outflow:
I think you'd be hardpressed to nail down 4=5,000 No. Americans.
I think the real # is between 1200 & 2800. More importantly, the purchasing frenzy of properties by NA's has dropped off significantly as have the rental side of the ledger. I suppose someone with real estate interests wlll nix these comments but using a fairly good network of Cuencanos' builders & RE agents I find this assessment to be fairly accurate. take notice of household items for sale or ads for sharing containers back to the states and Canada. It seems that using 100% as a starting point that roughly 60% stay beyond the 6 month period and the remaining 40% exit well within the 6 month extended visa period.
Without a working knowledge of Spanish your are almost certainly a returnee casualty.
Ecuador: health insurance:
Hello all, any of you purchased health insurance in Ecuador from SAAD or anoter insurer?
If so, details would be great. I wonder what the costs are for a 63 year old male by himself OR, do most of you depend on the medical social security system?
Advise please
