We meet for lunch each week and i often times contribute to his video topics and
i approve of 90% of his content. He has been here in Ecuador living and working full time for 10+ years. He tells the Good, the Baqd and the Ugly, and many topics not covered by most Ecuador Expats Vloggers! The 'JP and Amelia Unconventionals' youtube channel are very unrealistic and i can only approve of about 10% of
their content, it is just not very accurate. It is a good place to start to get your attention towards Ecuador,
But, They have only been in EC aprox 2.5 years and are now APR 2022 talking of moving on to Panama,
Costa Rica, Peru and other destinations.

"It feels like we’re still catching our breath from Ecuador’s 2021 visa updates. Given we swore in a new President after
these 2021 visa changes, it’s little surprise we have a raft of new visa rules to work our way through for 2022. Editor’s Note:
1. These changes are very fresh. Decree 354 was released on 18 Feb 2022.
2. Each of Ecuador’s migration offices are currently interpreting these new regulations. Don’t expect all interpretations
to be the same amongst each office.
3. Don’t act on this advice alone. There will be a lot of gray area whilst the dust settles. We’ll update this article as we get updates from our network of attorneys, facilitators & migration offices. Contents show
Income requirements for Retirement & Rentista visas have tripled

visiting one of the world's most active volcanoes (Cotopaxi), swimming in some of the countless
waterfalls and hot springs in the Andes mountains,
and cruising off the Pacific coastline to witness the yearly Humpback whale migration, it was
definitely a trip for the books. We fell in love with the warm and welcoming people of Ecuador,

--"However I would also be glad to talk with you and help plan out your Private Exploratory custom fitted trip (for a 1 on 1 singles,
couples, and or a Family) to where you want to go, directly to the locations that are of most interest to you and your needs, and therein
be able to make the most & best of your time while in EC. I have lived and worked full time in EC for the past 14 yrs, (an Atlanta, GA native, arrived at 45 yrs old, now 59 yrs old) and am a dual
EC / US Citizen based out of the Eastern Metro Quito Suburb Valley of Cumbaya to be near the UIO INT Airport,
and I conduct custom fitted introductory tours throughout the country."--

--REPEAT #2 - "To enter Ecuador, all travelers need a passport that’s valid for at least six months from the date of entry. You’ll also need to provide proof of
onward travel (or a return ticket) and evidence that you have enough money to pay for your trip. These last two requirements aren’t often addressed,
but it’s a good idea to have proof of them just in case at the tix counter on departure or customs official in the 2 Ecua Int Airports catches it and stops you."--
