Moving to Ecuado - Tips for Newcomers in Ecuador

When moving to Ecuador, people search under American Ecuador, British Ecuador, expat Ecuador and more. These searches will help you find many helpful resources such as The American Embassy Ecuador, The British Embassy in Ecuador and TDS' online Ecuador Visa Application.

But, when it comes to getting an insider's perspective on expat life in Ecuador, Expat Exchange's Ecuador Forum is a popular place to post questions about an upcoming move and read about current events such as Correa and the Media and Ecuadorian Citizen Committees.

Here are some suggestions pulled from our network for those considering a move to Ecuador:

Jobs in Ecuador

"Unlike Quito and Guayaquil which has many multi-national companies, jobs here are fairly non-existant, however, entrepreneurial opportunities abound. Many people are retired, however, once you have a Permanent Residency Visa...no matter which type you get...you can open a company to do any number of things. People here have restaurants, export business, real estate businesses, retail shops, etc. It's very simple to open a business here once you have a cedula," says one member in Cuenca (Read Full Expat Report on Cuenca, Ecuador).
