15 Easiest Countries To Immigrate To From US

9. ECUADOR: ranks 9th in our list of the easiest countries to immigrate to. This amazing South American country, home to the incredible Galapagos Islands, sky-touching mountains, pristine coastal beaches, extinct and active volcanoes, a surprising amount of microclimates and a diversity of flora and fauna, has been named so because it literally straddles the equator. Ecuador has one of the fastest processes of naturalization by residency worldwide and is significantly more affordable to buy your way in. This place has also clinched high ratings in terms of healthcare, taxation and safety. For a visit beyond visa-free 90-day entry, US citizens, including entrepreneurs and retirees, are obligated to apply for a temporary residence visa. Some 21 months after obtaining the temporary residence permit, you may file application for a permanent residence. Nevertheless, the bar of previous visa requirements is lifted if you marry an Ecuadorian citizen or enter into a legal de-facto union. Once you have completed three years of legal temporary/permanent residence, you may apply for a naturalization letter. Upon attaining Ecuadorian citizenship, you will not be asked to give up your previous nationality as set out in the Ecuadorian laws.
