My advice, DON’T… Well, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Alright, so you want to get married in Ecuador, it’s pretty straight forward, just go to the Department of Civil matters in Ecuador with your passport (they may also ask for your birth certificate) and sign away.

Foreigners have the same rights to marry as locals in Ecuador do, and it does qualify you for a resident-type visa.

Sure.

The Average Salary of a Domestic Employee in Ecuador is currently around $270-350 per month, working full time five days a week.

Plus, if doing everything above board by the books, you will have to register the contract in the Department of Labor and pay her/him employment benefits as stipulated by law… usually costing you another couple hundred per month.

These days, a cell phone is practically a necessity. Thankfully, getting set up in Ecuador is rather easy.

First, you’ll need to buy a sim card (for around $5)… I recommend buying “Porta” if you plan to live on the coast. Or “Movistar” if you plan to live in Quito or the Northern Andes area.

Then, if you want to find a phone cheap, I’d look for one in the two major cities of Ecuador, Quito or Guayaquil. In Quito, try the “Centro” Colonial (Historical area), specifically a complex called the Montufar. Beware! Only go during the daytime and don’t wear a lot of jewelry, the area is a little seedy.

In Guayaquil, for the cheapest cell phones try the open air market in the city center called the “Bahia”. Again, don’t go at night or dusk, the area is a bit seedy as well.

Also, in both places beware of brand name phones that are pirated, buy at your own risk…

In these areas you can find a cheapy for around $25.

Saludos, Dom
