residency paperwork 2018

6 years ago

I am an American who has lived in Panama for 18 years. Five years ago I became a Panamanian citizen. I am wondering if I move to Ecuador and apply for residency if I can apply as a Panamanian citizen. I haven't been back to the USA for 10 years so it would be hard for me to go back to the USA for paperwork. In addition paperwork from here in Panama is already in Spanish so it wouldn't need it translated. I would probably apply for an investors visa on the basis of a real estate purchase. I am fluent in Spanish.
