Since May 1, new consular and diplomatic tariffs entered into force in all Ecuadorian Consulates, amid the rejection of migrants.
Compatriots collect signatures for the Foreign Ministry in Quito to review the measure due to the crisis caused by the pandemic.
The new values were established through Ministerial Agreement 0000036 signed by Manuel Mejía Dalmau, Minister of Foreign Relations and Human Mobility of Ecuador, on April 15.
The document sets the value of the granting of powers at USD 60 (since October 2018 its cost was USD 30). The affidavit went from USD 15 to USD 25; the authorization of exit of minors from USD 10 to USD 25.
In the case of the notarization and receipt in custody of a closed will, it went from USD 150 to USD 450. The granting of an open will and first copy went from USD 100 to USD 540.
The Foreign Ministry issued the new tariffs in accordance with the Organic Law of Human Mobility and the Law of Consular Rights, with the favorable report of the Ministry of Economy and Finance.
In addition, the entity pointed out that the cost of notarial acts abroad was equal to the resolution of the Council of the Judiciary 010-2015, of January 29, 2015, in which the fees for notarial acts in the country were determined. .
Verónica Ortega, who has lived in Argentina for 14 years, commented that there are several compatriots dissatisfied with the increase and that they request to be heard by the authorities. A signature collection campaign was even viralized through social networks as a protest measure.
Ortega said that these increases conform to a calculation from 2015, when there was no pandemic and that at the moment the Argentine peso “is totally devalued” and that becomes a problem when changing to dollars.
Marllyn Angulo, an Ecuadorian social psychologist also residing in Argentina, said that in that country banks allow only up to USD 200 a month to change.
While Ortega showed her concern because the cost of the procedures exceeds that value.
