There may be some limitations and restrictions on that method, so it's best to speak with a visa expert first, like Maite Duran with GringoVisas.com. <br />Connie Pombohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11897266570990786617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8305605325493490323.post-63307268556787674492017-08-05T15:51:45.315-07:002017-08-05T15:51:45.315-07:00Cherian, thank you for your comment. If you got yo...Cherian, thank you for your comment. If you got your cedula in 2014; you are under the old law, which means the first and second year you're allowed to be gone for 90 days -- each year -- and the third year, you're allowed to be gone for up to 18 months UNLESS you're going for citizenship and then you can only be gone 90 days total in three years (approx. 30 days each year).<br /> <br />Under the old law, you can be gone up to 18 months without having to touch ground in Ecuador and then the time clock starts over again. Under the new law, after the three-year mark, you can be gone up to five years.<br />Connie Pombohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11897266570990786617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8305605325493490323.post-24476458305081051772017-08-05T12:58:26.425-07:002017-08-05T12:58:26.425-07:00I got my cedula August 14th 2014.

I completed 14th 2016 2 years and have not out of Ecuador for more than 90 days in the first 2 years.<br /><br /> Please if you can help, I need to know the following:-<br /><br />1) How long can I be away from Ecuador in a year, in 3 years, in 5 years?<br /><br />2) Am I under the new law or old law?.<br /><br />3) If I am allowed 18 months in the next 3 years or 5 years ?<br /><br />4) If its 18 months in 3 years that means august 14th 2019.

And after that you are able to re-enter Ecuador on another free tourist stamp one year after the date you first arrived on the free tourist stamp,correct? That would let you stay 6 months a year. Do you know if this is accurate or know anyone with friends who do this? :) Bree Moraleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06626449747027974908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8305605325493490323.post-79075200195075507072017-08-03T20:39:56.904-07:002017-08-03T20:39:56.904-07:00Hi!

Thanks for your comment! I suggest you...Hi Sherry, <br />Thanks for your comment! I suggest you get in contact with Maite Duran with Gringo Visas (www.gringovisas.com) as she has the most up-to-date information. If you're only planning to stay in Ecuador six months and in Canada for six months, you might be able to get by with the tourist visa (90 days) and then apply for an extension for another 90 days. You can do that once in a year's time and therefore won't have to apply for temporary and then permanent residency. We have a lot of friends who do that. However, if you're planning to stay here permanently, you may want to go through the process of temporary and then permanent residency. Maite will be able to help you in that process as it's a little bit different for Canadians than for Americans and I'm not that up-to-date on what paperwork you would need from Canada to get started. I hope this helps. And congratulations on your new home in Ecuador!
