Good morning. I am an African American man looking to move my family to Ecuador or Uruguay. I am seeking a mentor who has went through the expatriation and residency process. Feel free to inbox me

I have a wife and 3 children and we are learning spanish now. One of my children is 8 years old and the other is 15. I want to avoid the pitfalls and make this move as smooth and easy as possible.

If you are a person who was born in Ecuador or Uruguay and currently live there, feel free to reply. Below are some of my questions and concerns, and if you could help guide me in any other way, it will be much appreciated. Thanks

Questions:

Where do I specifically go to get the process started? What are the steps involved?

What is the cost to move to Ecuador or Uruguay?

What is the time frame to receive citizenship?

How difficult is the process of moving from the U.S.?

Is racism against blacks an issue in Ecuador or Uruguay?

What are the best cities or areas where blacks live?

Do they have schools that focus on English speaking children?

With regards to culture shock, what should I expect?

What should I expect with regards to crime ect.?

Any other info would be great. I greatly appreciate your assistance. Thanks.
