We bridge the gap between local bureaucracy and your expat expectations, making your relocation to the Land of Eternal Spring as effortless as a Sunday stroll in Cuenca.
Our Story
When Chip Moreno first arrived in the cobblestone streets of Cuenca, he felt the same enchantment that draws thousands of North Americans to Ecuador every year. But as he navigated the complex labyrinth of visa applications, cédulas, and legal translations, he noticed a recurring theme: the "lost in translation" gap.
Local legal offices understood the law, but didn't always grasp the urgency and clarity required by foreign professionals and retirees. Conversely, foreign consultants often lacked the deep-rooted local connections necessary to actually get things done.
Chip founded EcuaPass with a singular vision: to combine the standards of North American client service with the deep, "on-the-ground" expertise of Ecuador's finest legal minds. Today, we are more than just a visa service; we are your first local friend.
