“How do I actually move to Ecuador?”
If you make videos about Ecuador, run an expat community, or help people find property here, that question probably sounds familiar. Someone enjoys your content, starts imagining a different life, and comes to you for the next step.
You can talk about neighborhoods, daily life, and what you wish you’d known before arriving. Then the conversation turns to residency, documents, and which paperwork to get first.
That’s a useful moment for us to meet.
I’m Chip Moreno, founder of EcuaPass. I help people navigate the document preparation and administrative steps involved in an Ecuador visa application. I’m interested in working with creators and local professionals whose audiences are already asking these questions.
You bring the relationship. I bring the visa support. We agree on how referrals work, how you’re paid, and how we look after the people you introduce.
Your reputation follows the referral
During a recent partnership conversation, we spent a lot of time discussing what would happen after someone became a client.
Would they understand the next steps? Who would answer their questions? Could the person who introduced them stay involved? What would happen if something went wrong?
Those are the questions I want a prospective partner to ask.
You’ve spent time earning your audience’s attention. When you recommend someone, your audience remembers who made the introduction. A commission needs to come with a service you’re comfortable putting your name behind.
At EcuaPass, that means clear document instructions, an agreed service scope, and communication about the work ahead. Clients still have responsibilities, including obtaining records and providing information. Government decisions remain outside our control. Setting those expectations early helps everyone understand what they’re taking on.
You can start without becoming a visa specialist
You don’t need to memorize immigration requirements to make a useful introduction. You need to recognize when someone is ready for a conversation about their situation.
Here’s how we can structure the handoff:
- Agree on the referral setup. Before sending people over, we establish how introductions are recorded, which services qualify for commission, and who follows up.
- Introduce someone who wants help. They share their circumstances directly with EcuaPass. We discuss the support available, the information needed, and the scope and fees before paid work begins.
- Keep the relationship connected. You can continue being their trusted contact for life in Ecuador while EcuaPass handles the agreed visa support. We establish how concerns should reach us, with appropriate respect for the client’s privacy.
If you’d like to understand the process firsthand, we can discuss joining early calls. Hearing the questions people ask can also help you create more useful content.
A simple invitation in a video or newsletter could be:
“Thinking seriously about moving to Ecuador? Chip at EcuaPass can help you understand the document preparation and administrative support available. Contact him through my referral link, and tell him I sent you. I may earn a commission if you become a paying client.”
We would agree on the referral link or introduction method before you use it.
How the commission can work
Referral partners can earn a share of eligible collected visa service fees. We agree on the commission arrangement together before referrals begin.
Government fees and separately identified third-party pass-through costs are excluded from the commission basis. We confirm attribution, payout timing, exclusions, and how refunds or chargebacks affect commissions in writing.
There’s no guaranteed referral volume or income. If you choose to run paid advertising, the spending is yours unless we separately agree otherwise.
Let’s start with the questions your audience already asks
You might publish Ecuador videos, write a relocation newsletter, host a community, or work with people considering property here. The useful starting point is the same: people already come to you for help taking their next step.
Tell me what they’re asking and where you currently get stuck helping them. That gives us something concrete to discuss.
Put “Partnership” in your message. Include a link to your channel, business, or community, a brief description of your audience, and the questions you hear about moving to Ecuador.
