Updated February 27, 2022- Expat Info Center, featured, Moving To Ecuador- 'Ecuador’s Visa Changes for 2022-
"It feels like we’re still catching our breath from Ecuador’s 2021 visa updates. Given we swore in a new President after these 2021 visa changes, it’s little surprise we have a raft of new visa rules to work our way through for 2022.
Editor’s Note:
1. These changes are very fresh. Decree 354 was released on 18 Feb 2022.
2. Each of Ecuador’s migration offices are currently interpreting these new regulations. Don’t expect all interpretations to be the same amongst each office.
3. Don’t act on this advice alone. There will be a lot of gray area whilst the dust settles.
We’ll update this article as we get updates from our network of attorneys, facilitators & migration offices.

Regarding this total climate dependence, Miller is categorical in his analysis: "If it doesn't rain, even if the President stands on his head, there will be no energy. It doesn't matter what party you are from, if it doesn't rain as it is proposed in the system, there is no energy."
