Hello all ;

I found quite a few information on line , but somehow none of them
cuts really well to my situation .

Are two of us , but not married .
We have income 1. my alimony, about $1500
and my boyfriend has
2 . his condo rented, about the same amount of money .

I am 61, he is younger a few good years .

Can we get residential visas under this condition ?
Visas , which would lead surely to permanent status ?
We do not plan buy any real estate now , we do not want to sale now what we have in US .

This is very burning question for me ,because few years ago we already decided to move to Mexico, we did , and now new emigration law and visa requirements kicks us practically out, or makes
legalization of staying prohibitive expensive and troublesome .

I would appreciate an answer very, very much .

regards eva

Hello,

As far as I know you can apply for Retirement Visa together but if you're not married is really complicated, so many expats decide to marry in Ecuador.

You have to proof you have a monthly income $800 minimun each if you filling separate or $800 plus $200 for a dependant. Also the tramit is less expensive if you do it together.
When you have SRI pension is easy to proof but if you have a rental property I don't know how it can work because maybe some months you don't have any income. That's another reason is better to apply together.

If you get retirement Visa you can stay in the country for as long as you want but you can't leave Ecuador for more than 4 month each year.

Good luck
Vinny
