Does one already need health insurance to get a visa in Ecuador?

Hello,

I read on the internet page of the "Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores" that from the 22.07 you will need health insurance to get a visa. Right now I am studying at a university in Ecuador. And I have my appointment on the 5.07. When I called the department I got different answers. So, I wanted to know if you were asked to show that you have health insurance when you were renewing your visa in the last few days.

Thank you for your answers,

Elena

Have a country property?

Do you have a big property that you’d like to share with these two loving dogs? Need some extra protection? This is a mama/puppy duo that are very bonded. They love to run free but come when called and are very loving with other dogs and kids. Not “barkers” but will only let you know when there is an unwelcome visitor. Used to being caged or kenneled, so easy training in a new location. We are only here for one more week, so we need a miracle, urgently! Many thanks,

Celebrating Juneteenth today?

We Americans should celebrate this date, June 19th, every year everywhere.

Clean Systems

For the past three years I have used Clean Systems to clean out my skylights and clean my apartment. I always found them to be reliable and honest; however, this summer when I arrived back in Cuenca, I called to have my cleaning done, they said they do not speak English. I had a friend call to set up an appointment and they told him they must do an inspection and then schedule a different day to clean. They have cleaned this apartment for three years, now they need an inspection? If you know of a good cleaning service, please let me know.
