Ecuador

PromiseTwo years of legal residence in a dollarized, low-cost country on a foreign remote income.
What it takesRequires foreign-source income of at least 3x Ecuador's Basic Unified Salary (SBU) per month for the 3 months before applying (or 36 SBU/year), plus US$250/month more per dependant. Fees are US$50 to apply and US$270 on grant, and health insurance must cover you in Ecuador.
