Brainstorm With Jason So He and His Girlfriend Can Stay in Ecuador by cccmedia
Jason, from USA, told us on the New Members thread that he and his Filipina girlfriend are coming to Quito in a few weeks. They probably will want to study Spanish at a school, which, he said, "will also get us a six-month visa. But after ...
Thats good to hear, really is cheap, huh? Read More
Internet for 九色视频s: 2015 Updates by cccmedia
This thread was born because poster Jason has been sitting in front of his computer in Chiang Mai, Thailand, thinking about how good it'll be when he and his girlfriend are in Ecuador, and he can surf the Web with fast Internet without paying an ...
I think you're right. I'll be able to suss out everything once I'm there. In Quito, especially, there are bound to be plenty of good providers with reasonable prices. The other thing I don't like about netlife is they seem to require ... Read More

Well my appetite for internet is, I would wager, much more insatiable than the average expat! ;) I'll look for that thread. Read More

Thanks Bob, good to know in advance, and I guess while I will look for a place with central gas, I really don't mind using propane and dealing with the propane delivery. Thanks for the heads up. Read More

Thanks again cccmedia, that's very encouraging. Yes, aircon is a huge expense in all of SE Asia, which I'll be glad to avoid. And even when electricity appears to be used a lot for long periods of time, perhaps with space heaters, it seems ... Read More

Wow, unbelievable! $10 per month for electricity? I did expect it to be a lot less than here in Thailand because I know we won't need to run the aircon all summer, $10? I assume this means you cook with gas, not electricity, which is something I ... Read More

haha, oops, sorry about that . . . So it really seems like it's going to be difficult to stay permanently (unless I'm willing to drop $25k). I don't see--yet--a better option than going to a student visa for the first 6 months, then we ... Read More

Based on the link mugcat posted, it looks like my girlfriend won鈥檛 get the 12-IX without leaving the country but I could, so it means we鈥檇 have to leave the country. No big deal, but if this is the case, since we don鈥檛 speak ... Read More

Thanks again for starting this thread. Just to recap and expand on some of our plans answers: we play to stay 90 days initially then transition to a student visa for another 6 months, taking us to 9 months. Beyond that, we鈥檒l either have to ... Read More

Hi all, Newbie on the Ecuador forum? Don聮t know how to start? This thread is for you ;) We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your expat story if you are already living in the country, or to tell us more on your ...
Yeah, sorry, I certainly didn't mean to hijack the introduction thread, but I appreciated the question and the initial answers so far. Good to hear you're familiar with Chiang Mai. I'm not any more advanced with the local language than ... Read More

Thanks for asking. We'll use our 90 days on entry to get settled and find an apartment, and then, since we need to learn Spanish anyway, we'll sign up for Spanish classes at a school which will also get us a 6 month visa. But after 9 months, ... Read More

Hi everyone, I'm Jason. I've been living outside of the US (in Chiang Mai, Thailand) for a year and a half now, and my girlfriend and I are looking to relocate to Ecuador in the next 1-2 months. We were looking at Cuenca but now leaning ... Read More
