Permanent Residence in Ecuador

I'm married to an Ecuadorian.  Does being married to an Ecuadorian make it easier to live permanently in Ecuador?

You can disclose much less money on a Visa de Amparo compared to other visas. I disclosed only the minimum, which I put in a separate account more than a year before I applied. Plus, this account is kept in the USA.

through marriage you can become resident or citizen (if your home country allows). Should just be a formality.

I don't remember any declarations of savings as mentioned above though. But I went the citizen route which may effect that (or maybe I just don't remember)

My husband has a permanent residency card in the U.S. and will be eligible for citizenship in less than one more year.  He will become a "dual citizen."  I'm wanting the exact opposite.

We have an attorney who facilitated us being able to get Tony his residence card.  And I guess we should go back through his office and see if he can do anything for us as far as my becoming a permanent resident of Ecuador with eyesight on becoming an Ecuador-U. S., dual citizen as well.

Tony and I have been married three years on April 12, 2020.

Could you give more specific information as to how to proceeded with your process of acquiring Ecuadorian citizenship.  Do I assume correctly that you are also a U. S. citizen?

Thanks. . . .

Oh, and we've registered our marriage through the Registro Civil in downtown Quito a few weeks ago.  Doesn't seem like this'll be of any benefit though as far as what I'm wanting to do in getting a permanent residence visa and a cédula after living in Ecuador for, I think it is, one year.

The question is, does Ecuador recognize same sex marriages?
