🇪🇨Ecuador Residency Visa
Program Highlights
Ecuador offers one of South America’s most flexible and affordable residency programs — with multiple visa pathways suited for retirees, professionals, and investors.
All applicants begin with a two-year Temporary Residency Visa, which can be renewed or converted into Permanent Residency after 21 months. Ecuador’s combination of low living costs, temperate climate, and broad visa categories makes it a compelling choice for digital nomads, pensioners, and globally mobile investors.
Available Visa Categories:
Pensionado (Retirement) Visa – For retirees with stable monthly income.
Professional Visa – For university graduates with recognized degrees.
Investor Visa – For individuals depositing or investing capital in Ecuador.
Dependent, Student, and Volunteer Visas – Available for family and special categories.
A versatile pathway to South American residency — built for flexibility, affordability, and a high quality of life.
