What makes Ecuador so Popular with Expats?

Let’s look at the top reasons why Ecuador deserves a good consideration if you are thinking of relocating abroad.

Ecuador’s laid-back, low-stress pace of life with its focus on family and friends appeals to many expats. So does the outdoors lifestyle, friendly locals springlike climate, delicious local produce, and tasty home-cooked meals available at little restaurants where you can oftentimes get a 4-course meal for $2.

Ecuador Medical Care

Medical Care is top-quality. And it costs significantly less than in the U.S..  North Americans looking to save money on major or minor procedures travel to Ecuador for many types of surgery and dentistry. A visit to a doctor costs $30, and you can get medical insurance beginning from $50 a month.

Ecuador Residency

It’s easy to become a resident. There’s many ways to get your residency.  Showing a pension of $850 or more a month or by purchasing a property for $25,000 or more are among the most popular ways of receiving residency in Ecuador.

Proximity to the U.S.

Ecuador is close to North America. Most major airlines fly to Ecuador directly from the US or Canada. It’s only 4 hours flight from Quito to Miami.

Property Prices are still Affordable

And with low salary levels of just $394 per month you can hire locals to help with the cleaning or maintenance of your home.
