The work visa category 12-VI is issued to highly qualified professionals, technicians, contracted personnel for industrial training and specialized workers, to perform temporary works. The validity of this visa depends upon the length of the assignment or contract and it covers direct family members.
(Comment: Generally, Presidents, General Managers, Legal Representatives and General Trustees do not apply for this 12-VI Visa, because they do not have an "Employment Relationship" with the Company, pursuant to the Labour Law. Instead they request, and are given, a 10-IV Visa, which is an Immigrant visa to take over top level administrative functions in an Ecuadorian Company. This visa can be easily obtained in Ecuador, without having to leave the country, while the individual is covered by the 12-IX Visa)
Requirements
The application for a work visa 12-VI must be made at the Ecuadorian Consulate with jurisdiction over the applicant's place of residence. The applicant must present an employment contract that has been legalized by Ecuador's Court of Labour, the certification issued by the National Direction of Employment and Human Resources or the appointment letter of Power of Attorney, when applicable.

Having the work permit or the visa that allows you to get a job is very important in any country in almost any country. In Argentina it is different. This country is open to immigration so most of the people who enter can get the paperwork needed. I travelled there with no visa and I was able to get an apartment rental in Buenos Aires without problems. I love that freedom!
