is it true, you only have a window of about 90 days prior to departure to Ecuador, that all documents have to be very current, within that time frame: fingerprints, FBI check, SS-award notice, etc., to be accepted?

The documents vary as to how old they can be to be accepted for a residency visa application. All of that is covered in my book.

Does Ecuador honor Medicare at there Hospitals or clinics? And is any medical certificates-or-documents require to enter the country?

No, Medicare isn’t honored here.
The only thing you need to enter the country is a current passport with at least 6 months remaining validity on it.

Thanks for all the REALLY useful info you provide on the blog and for the book. Wondering if when you pick up your 9-1 if all the documents you provided are returned to you. If not, I would need a second apostilled birth certificate for the cedulo.

Hi Ken,
My documents weren’t returned to me however my apostiled birth certificate could have been. The clerk was willing to make a copy and give it back to me but I told her to keep it.
Your birth certificate isn’t needed for the visa, just the cedula so you only need one apostiled copy.
You don’t need more than one copy of anything.
