Welcome to ExpatsInEcuador! This is the fastest growing, Ecuador-related new community forum on Yahoo and is open to anyone interested in learning what it's like to actually live in Ecuador from those who really do. From volunteering, business ideas, comparisons to living in EC vs your home country, what it takes to get here, news on real estate sales and rentals, cost of living in EC, getting your EC resident visa processing, the services you'll need and want once you get here, and much more.

We are pro-business (but no spamming please) and welcome business listings and have partnerships with these sites:

1. In the Database section of this site. Please add your business listing here. Takes 1 minute.
2. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EC_Expat_Business_People
3. www.Ecuador365.com
4. Others - post a note as the list grows often


Many of us on this forum came from another one that was highly censored and moderated. We’re trying to be not so heavy handed here and encourage meaningful conversation that generally pertains to life in EC, questions about visiting/buying/renting property, moving to EC, getting your resident’s visa, “how do I…?” – in other words life here in Ecuador.

While we want you to be honest and open please refrain from hate-filled speak, profanity, vitriole, etc. No x-rated pix please.

We know it takes many people and connections to make this type of move and we want business people to have an opportunity to help others. We encourage business people on this site to share their goods or services with others. We do not condone spamming others, however, as that may cause one to be moderated or banned. If you wish to communicate offline please respect the recipient’s interest or lack of interest in the same.

By joining you agree to hold harmless members of the forum including but not limited to the forum owner and moderator(s) from the opinions expressed herein.

Welcome!
