How long does construction take?

Construction timelines vary, but on average, homes are completed within several months. You’ll receive updates throughout the build via WhatsApp or social media.

Do I need to be in Ecuador while the home is built?

No — we handle everything for you. Many of our clients live abroad while their home is under construction, and we provide regular photo/video updates throughout the process.

💰 Pricing, Payments & Incentives

What is the down payment to begin building?

A minimum of 10% down is required to begin construction. The remaining balance must be paid off by the time the home is completed.

We do not offer in-house financing at this time. Most clients pay in phases or bring financing from their home country.

If you visit Toscana and decide to purchase during your first trip, you’ll receive a $2,000 one-time incentive per property. It’s our way of saying welcome — and thank you for choosing us.

🛂 Residency & Visas

Can foreigners own property in Ecuador?

Yes! Ecuador welcomes foreign property ownership with no restrictions.

What kind of visa do I need to live in Ecuador?

You’ll need a residency visa. Many of our clients apply for the Pensioner (Retirement) or Investor visa options.

What are the visa requirements for foreigners?

To apply, you’ll need:

✅ A passport valid for at least 6 months

✅ A criminal background check from the last 5 years (translated into Spanish and notarized)
