SUZAN HASKINS
ParticipantI don’t know if Dr. Mendez speaks English either…
ParticipantJoel, another friend had good luck at Clinica FAE (the naval hospital). They saw Dr. Luis Mendez there and had a very good experience. (tendinitis)
ParticipantI’m sorry, Joel, I don’t know…
ParticipantDr. Rodrigo A. Cordero
Cordero, Moreno & Corral Abogados
Circunvalación Sur, sector subida a Turi
Cuenca – Ecuador
Tel. + 593 – 72881511ParticipantAndrea, I asked Edd about a tax attorney in Cuenca and here is his response: “My friend Rodrigo Cordero is senior partner in the largest law firm in southern Ecuador. There’s probably someone on staff who can help. His email is rcordero@cmc.com.ec.”
ParticipantLarry, you need to be resident in the country to get your cedula, or resident visa. You can start the process in the States, however, at your nearest Ecuadorian consulate. Since you have quite a bit of time before you’ll be coming to Ecuador, you should wait until closer to your move date. It’s not only possible that the required documents might change, but most need to be authenticated within six months of your application.
ParticipantEnjoy!
ParticipantAndrea, I’ll ask around about a tax attorney. For moving things, I’d suggest you contact Sandra Baquero at Sandy_Baquero@hotmail.com. She is a customs facilitator and has helped a lot of expats. If that email address doesn’t work, let me know? I seem to recall that she has a couple of email addresses and I’m not sure this is the best one.
ParticipantTry calling Dr. Jose Rendon-Mackliff at 09 91774609.
ParticipantHI Andrea, I’ve never known immigration to look at flight reservations. Their only job is to look at your documents. It’s the airlines that get sticky about this. I’ve read lots of ways people have come up with to wiggle around this — I’ll see what I can find out some details. Meanwhile, you might want to go to this website: http://www.ecuadormovers.com and shoot an email to Maite Duran.
What kind of tax attorney are you looking for? Someone to help you with taxes in Ecuador or someone to help with taxes in the U.S. If the latter, you probably wouldn’t need that person to necessarily be in Ecuador. Let me know?
ParticipantAll I’m reading is that a Canadian birth certificate must be legally authenticated. The Canadian consulate must have a way of doing that. Lots of expats here recommend the services of Maite Duran, an Ecuadorian who has helped lots of expats through the visa process — and specifically getting a resident visa in the U.S. prior to coming to Ecuador. Check out her website at http://www.ecuadormovers.com and shoot her an email. I am sure she’d be happy to help.
ParticipantThis is a long read, but may be helpful to you… good advice here, from a Facebook page I belong to:
Karen Kimbler Cuenca Crafters is also a FB group. I have seen a Sewing Machine service store on Remigio Crespo y Unidad Nantional.. across the street from Boyacá.
September 17 at 3:42pm · LikeSuzan Haskins Karen, do you think they service high-tech, computerized machines with lasers?
September 17 at 3:48pm · Edited · LikeKaren Kimbler No clue… you would have to go by and ask them.
September 17 at 4:00pm · LikeSuzan Haskins I will tell her, thanks.
September 17 at 4:10pm · LikeKaren Kimbler Suzan Haskins are you in Cuenca?
September 17 at 4:33pm · LikeNancy Diane Turpin Suzan Haskins there are a number of sewing machine shops, I know for sure there’s Singer here, and I think I’ve seen Brother…but they are the more common types with various stitches and maybe some embroidery stitches…not much higher priced than in USA
September 17 at 6:33pm · LikeNancy Hofmeister The Brother machines here are all low end that would cost $75-100 in the US. There are some Singers here that sell for $400 here. Not sure of price in US (Prob $200-250) Getting a $4000 laser computerized machine – no where in Cuenca. Getting the same repaired here – not likely. I have not seen any computerized machines being repaired in any of the stores here. The most prevalent machines for sale here are industrial Singers and Jukis.
September 17 at 7:17pm · LikeJennifer Buchanan Lawrence do they still sell the low end treadle machines?
September 17 at 7:20pm · LikeNancy Hofmeister Hi. I am the moderator for the Sewing in Ecuador group and will be happy to add you and/or your friend. Just go to the site and click on the “join” button. There are lots of us who sew here. BTW – if your friend is into quilting, there is another group on FB called Cuenca Quilt Guilt. They will happy to tell your friend about the dearth of good quilting fabric here. There is other fabric all over the place, just not for quilting. it is not something the Ecuadorian women do.
September 17 at 7:21pm · LikeNancy Hofmeister Jennifer Buchanan Lawrence – I have not seen any treadle machines with the possible exception of antiques stores and low cost they are not. However, you can get lucky and find a feather weight for next to nothing – after you do lots of looking. I gave up as the ones I found were missing some essentials like electric cords, the gadget that holds the foot on, stuff you can’t replace here. Well, I take that back, the sewing machine repair stores are full of old stuff. They MIGHT be of some help if you speak really good Spanish.
September 17 at 7:27pm · LikeJennifer Buchanan Lawrence feather weights? I have managed to acquire a collection of them! I have about 4 – well, my mother seems to have confiscated them for her quilting group, but they are mine. I plan on taking 1 or 2 down with me if I can.
September 17 at 8:32pm · LikeSuzan Haskins She wants to buy a high-tech machine in the US and bring it here to Ecuador, but she’s working about getting it serviced. That’s the dilemma. Thanks again for your input.
September 17 at 8:45pm · LikeKaren Kimbler She needs the name brand of the machine.. then have someone here go to the store and enquire for her. OR, the machine maker might have information about service centers in South America.
September 17 at 8:47pm · Edited · Unlike · 1Lena Lynch Yes you can get newer singer treadles here in Loja, I see them often for about $80!
16 hours ago · Like · 2Jennifer Buchanan Lawrence I thought maybe, because there are a significant number of women with no electricity who sew. The last time I was in Mexico, walked by a sewing machine store with rows of brand new treadles. I restrained from drooling on them. However that was a while ago.
16 hours ago · LikeCinzia Bottaro Torres If you love sewing you can make teddy bear for the cancer children in the hospital ! You can make them a little happiness !
It took me two hours to make one by hand and plan to make many more .
14 hours ago via mobile · LikeCynthia Connell I too plan on bringing my Bernina and know there is no service in EC. Also are there spinning groups there in Cuenca?
11 hours ago · LikeGeri Jeter Could try a Web search for a specific brand. The company webpages often have worldwide authorized service centers listed.
5 hours ago · LikeParticipantNo, Canada does not apostille. A couple of things you might want to do: call your nearest Ecuador consulate and verify what they will acccept, and call your nearest Canada consulate and ask if they can certify the document in an internationally accepted way. Meanwhile I will see what else I can find out.
ParticipantThank you, Rolf.
September 18, 2013 at 4:26 pm in reply to: Ecuador Offshore Billfishing/Tuna Fishing Recomendations #535757ParticipantPeter, one more from you from my friend, Mike Sager: There is a guy in Salinas and his name is Sultan. Forward this link to him and hopefully Sultan will get back in touch with him. http://www.dogdaychartersecuador.com I have been out with him and he is a pretty cool guy…has a nice boat the needed gear to catch the BIG ones.
