A Professional Visa just like any other Temporary Residency Visa is valid for two years, and you have the option to renew your Professional Residency Visa multiple times for which new background checks might be needed, with no restrictions or time limits for traveling in and out of Ecuador. OR you can apply for a Permanent Residency Visa after 21 months of having obtained your Professional Residency Visa.

How Much Does a Professional Residency Visa Cost?

​

PM Visas & Translations EC charges an all-inclusive fee of $1,300 for all Temporary Visas main applicants. Applicant dependents pay a fee of $1,100 and children under 18 years old pay a fee of $400.

• Review of documents to verify that they are correct for the visa process.

 

Note: All documents must be obtained, notarized, and apostilled by the client in their respective home country as this is the first step of the visa process for any of the visa categories (except permanent visa). But rest assured, we will guide you each step of the way in a timely and orderly manner.  You do not have to worry!

For US citizens only, if you prefer for us to obtain the documents on your behalf, an additional service feel will apply. This fee will be different for each client in the US based on various factors such as location of client, number of documents needed, and state of residency.

Please let us know if you would like to add this service at time of consultation and we will happily analyze what you will require and provide you an honest quote.
