110: How To Move To Ecuador Complete Master Class – Marcos Chiluisa

The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup

Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Marcos Chiluisa, a business development advisor, licensed attorney and founder of EcuaAssist in Ecuador. His legal practice focuses on Real Estate, Corporate, Labor, Administrative, and Immigration counselling. EcuaAssist is a bilingual consulting company focused on the needs of Expats in Ecuador, whether they are just arriving or already well established, with operations in 5-cities in Ecuador. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Marcos over the past year and his knowledge and experience are quite impressive. In this episode, we really do break down everything that you would need to know if you were either trying to decide on a country to move to or if you know for sure Ecuador is the country for you and your family. I would call this a 'Master Class in all things Ecuador'

TOPICS DISCUSSED IN DETAIL IN THIS INTERVIEW:

• Why Marcos Chiluisa is the perfect lawyer for all things immigration
• Ecuador, what is it really like? What can you expect when you move there?

FINAL THOUGHTS

Well, I can certainly tell you if I was thinking of picking up everything and moving to Ecuador, this would be the podcast for me. Marcos is brilliant, with a Ph.D. in law, he really knows what he's talking about. He has 5 offices around the country and as an expat himself, he can empathize with your needs. If you have any questions at all, knowing Marcos as well as I do, he will be more than happy to answer them. Plus, he promised he would take care of all of my listeners, and I trust that he will.
