Greetings! Please advise if all certified and apostille documents are to be translated to spanish prior to submitting or only certain docs?? Thank you much.

To the best of my knowledge, all documents necesitate translation and apostile in spanish for residency and viasa.  The best thing, to be honest, is to hire a lawyer that can assist you with this process.  If you'd like, I can recommend several to you that speak english and are located in Quito, Cuenca, Manta, and Porto Viejo.  I am decently familiar with this process and myself and my dad own a developing community in Ecuador.  If you need anything else please do not hesitate to private message me or visit: vistapacificahomes.com and you can contact us through there.

Yes, documents do need to be translated.  But, they can be done here.  I have translated birth certificates, marriage certificates, college degrees, etc for several clients.

Thank you ... we have made a note of that with your contact details. Have an excellent day!
