Ecuador Consanguinity Visa
Permanent residency for second-degree relatives of Ecuadorian citizens or permanent residents. If you have family ties in Ecuador, this is the most direct path to indefinite residency.
Not sure your family tie qualifies? Send me the relative and their status in Ecuador — I'll give you an honest yes or no before you pay anything. I reply personally, normally within one business day.
Key Requirements
Family Relationship
You must be a relative within the second degree of consanguinity or affinity of an Ecuadorian citizen or a foreigner with permanent residency in Ecuador. Parents, children, siblings, grandparents, and grandchildren all qualify.
Background Check
Original criminal record certificate from your country of origin or countries of residence in the last 5 years, apostilled or legalized, translated into Spanish, and valid for 180 days (required for applicants 18+).
Proof of Relationship
Birth certificates, marriage certificates, or other official documents proving the family link. These must be apostilled or legalized and translated into Spanish if issued abroad.
Every month you wait is a month you could already be living here.
The biggest delay we see isn't immigration — it's applicants who overthink the document list. Message me your situation and I'll send you the exact checklist for your case — and tell you honestly if anything is missing.
