Recommendation for: Ulises Acosta, visas, and cedulas

I needed a new cedula this year, and wanted to find a professional who would look after the whole procedure for me. I decided to use Ulises Acosta as I had heard excellent things about his work, and felt that he was a compassionate, and empathetic person as he always keeps us up to date with pertinent Ecuadorian news, totally free of charge.

Once I had my documents, I gave Ulises a call, and told him that I would like him to be my facilitator. I asked him to go to Azogues on my behalf, and in order for him to do that, he organized an early morning appointment for me at the Power of Attorney’s office in Malacatos. He also organized a translator, who unfortunately didn’t arrive, so he immediately arranged for one of the staff at the office to translate the document for me. The whole procedure took only about half an hour.

The only other thing I had to do was to meet Ulises in the cedula office in Loja, as he looked after all other details. While in that office, we waited only about an hour, and then I received my cedula immediately.

Ulises was very professional. Everything happened very smoothly, and in a timely manner. I believe this was partly because he is very organized, but also because he knows the system very well, and seems to have very good rapport with the staff at the various offices involved. I felt that I was looked after extremely well, and was extremely happy with his service. I would definitely recommend Ulises to help with anything to do with visas or cedulas.
