About Chip Moreno · Cuenca, Ecuador

I moved to Ecuador. Then I spent two years fixing the mistakes I made.

EcuaPass is what I wish I had when I applied. Document coordination, clear next steps, and direct answers from someone who actually lives in Cuenca.

Why EcuaPass exists

The real stress isn't the paperwork. It's not knowing if you're doing the right paperwork.

When I moved to Cuenca, I paid for translations before I knew which documents I actually needed. I sent my FBI check to the wrong apostille office. I waited four weeks for a correction I could have avoided.

EcuaPass exists so you don't make the same mistakes. We confirm your route first. Then we tell you exactly which documents to gather, in what order, and who to send them to.

We coordinate documents and routine process work. We do not replace an Ecuadorian lawyer, give legal opinions, or promise a government outcome.

“Moving countries is personal. The service should feel careful enough to match the decision.”

How the work is handled

Warm in tone. Precise in scope.

Clear scope

You get a written scope that lists exactly what we handle, what you handle, and what only the government can decide. No vague retainers.

Local coordination

We are in Cuenca. We know the current appointment wait times, the translation offices that turn work around fast, and the document errors that get rejected this month.

Respectful communication

We answer in plain language. If your situation needs a lawyer, we say so. We do not handle legal representation, appeals, or court cases. We handle paperwork.

Experience you can locate

Chip's credentials are simple: he did this himself, and he does it for clients every week.

EcuaPass is an independent administrative support service—not a law firm. Its strength is practical coordination, direct communication, and the ability to say what should be verified next.

  • Professional Visa holder — he navigated the same SENESCYT registration you may face

  • Coordinates 20+ applications per quarter — current knowledge of what gets rejected right now
  • Built CuencaExpat.com — a network of 10,000+ residents who share practical intelligence
