Hola,
I am concerned that the Permanent Residency Requirements for Ecuador are changing or have already changed. Originally when I got my Permanent Residency Visa into my passport, I was told that I needed to spend 2 years here for 9 months out of 12 and then I could apply for my passport and would only need to step foot in Ecuador 1 day a year for the next year and then I could get my passport.
Now I am hearing the rules have changed and I will need to spend 3 years here for 9 out of 12 months and cannot get my passport for 5 years.
Anyone know what is the correct information for both retaining legal Permanenet Residency in Ecuador and any new rules for applying for the Ecuadorian Passport?
I understand that the President has appointed several new Ministers in rpid succession so I don't know what the current rules are and if they re likely to change again?
Thanks for your help clarifying this matter. My husband and I do not want to be surprised at the airport and not be allowed back into our home here for lack of information or on a political technicality.
Thanks.
