DIY vs. With EcuaPass.
A side-by-side look at what changes when you bring us on.
Four steps to residency.
“I moved my family here in 2024. I'll walk you through what I learned the hard way.”
EcuaPass was started after my own visa process taught me that the difference between approval and denial is rarely the law — it's the documents. A missing apostille, a translator who isn't certified, an FBI check that's expired by three days.
We pair you with our Cuenca-based immigration attorney, handle every Spanish-language touchpoint, and review your file before submission. If something is wrong, we catch it before the government does.
What clients say.
“Chip honestly made the process very simple on my end. All I needed to provide was the appropriate documentation and Chip handled the rest.”
He helped organize what was needed next to ensure everything was on time and provided options to make it easier on me and my family.
“With Chip, you won't regret it. He really went above and beyond — he really left no stone unturned.”
I contacted Chip with just 27 days before my flight. He took on the challenge and contacted me practically every day to update me.
