We finally had all of the following required papers:
1.Criminal record granted by the authority of the place you have been living on the last 5 years, dully apostilled and translated into Spanish, the translator must recognized the signature before a Notary. We had gotten an RCMP record and had it translated, notarized and then legalized at the Ecuadorian Consulate in Toronto ( no apostilling).
2.Closing Deed, original, duly registered. We were using our condo for the required $25,000 each for the investors' visa.
3.Certificate from the Real estate Registrar granted no more than 30 days before the application is submitted. We had been waiting for this document which Sebastian had ordered on October 5th and which arrived yesterday.
4.Municipal Land Tax 2012 .We gave Sebastian our copy received when we paid our taxes last February.
5. The 'Movimientos Migratorios' which we had gotten with Sebastian's help on Oct.19th.
Sebastian had put them all in the correct order in a separate manila envelope for each of us. We then filled out and signed an application form listing our names, citizenship, father's and mother's names etc. We then lined up to get a number and when our number was called, went up each to our own booth ( with Sebastian going between to handle any questions etc) and handed the official our manila folder along with our passport.
There was a question concerning why we were applying in Quito when our condo was in Salinas ( if living in Salinas we should apply in Guayaquil) but we had used our Quito rental as our address so the officials agreed and continued checking the rest of our documents. No other errors were found, they stamped each document and put our information into the computer. After we both paid the $30 for the application, they gave each of us a computer printout signed by them that listed our application etc. and returned our passports.
There were no other questions even though in Uwe's case, one document showed his middle name and all others did not.
So now we wait to hear when they are approved. If there are other questions, Sebastian will handle them.
