What do I need to know before moving to Guayaquil?

"Get a realtor. Look around a lot. Start and finish with Sanborondon if your budget allows. Venture out to Los Ceibos and Via la Costa if the distance from the "fun areas" of Guayaquil isn't an issue. Talk to other expats (if you can find them)," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Guayaquil, Ecuador.

"1. Guayaquil is Ecuador’s largest city, located in the coastal region of the country. The climate is tropical, hot and humid. 2. The official language is Spanish, so it is useful to have some basic Spanish language skills before moving to Guayaquil. 3. French, English, and German are also spoken in some sectors. 4. Companies often require official documents such as birth certificates, passports, driver’s license and other relevant paperwork for immigration procedures. 5. Depending on the expat’s immigration status, some customs and immigration procedures may apply. 6. To gain full access to the benefits of the city and country, it is recommended that expats become familiar with the Ecuadorian laws and regulations. 7. Despite its size, Guayaquil offers stunning scenery, interesting cultural experiences, and an exciting nightlife. 8. Guayaquil has modern infrastructure, providing medical services, public transportation, fitness centers, and shopping malls. 9. Expats should be prepared to give homage to the city's rich history when exploring the many attractions. 10. It is important to always remain aware of your surroundings, as crime rates can be high in certain areas," commented one expat who made the move to Guayaquil, Ecuador, Ecuador.
