Ecuador Visa Information

Known for its rich biodiversity, Ecuador boasts one of the most unique landscapes on earth. Dense with life, the nation's coastline opens onto the Pacific Ocean, giving tourists access to jungles and white sand beaches in the same day. Accommodation is generally cheap, although there are several luxury resorts. Moreover, Ecuador has several UNESCO World Heritage Sites including the famed Galapagos Islands. Lastly, let’s not forget that the country also has the highest active volcano in the world, Cotopaxi. Needless to say, travelers of all kinds are welcome in Ecuador.

Before you plan your trip, you should know a few things about its visa policy. What you should know is that Ecuador has one of the most lenient visa policies in the world. Almost everyone can go there without a visa for up to 90 days. The citizens of Peru and Venezuela can extend their stay up to 180 days. Not to mention that almost all the citizens of the countries in South America, except Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, and Venezuela, can enter Ecuador without a passport either. They only need an ID card.

To learn if you need a visa for Ecuador, you can take a look at its visa policy. However, an easier way would be for you to use iVisa Visa Checker Tool, which is located in the top right corner of this page. All you must do is select your nationality from the drag-down menu and put Ecuador as your destination. If you do not need a visa, you can go on without. If you do, you will be given a list of the embassies you can use to apply. There are only 13 countries in the world whose citizens need a visa for Ecuador, so your chances of not needing one are pretty high.

Unfortunately, Ecuador is not a supported country on iVisa. At least not for now. However, we would still like to help you in any way, which is why our support service is at your disposal 24/7. The service is free of charge, and our consultants have a vast knowledge as far as visas are concerned.

If you find yourself in the situation in which you need a visa for Ecuador, you must learn about the requirements. While you can do that online, we advise that you call the embassy itself. It is the most reliable source of information. Websites are not always brought up to date, and that can lead to mistakes. Just give the embassy a call, and you will find out what you need to know. Nevertheless, what we can tell you is that you need a passport that is valid and remains as such for at least another 6 months from the date of arrival in Ecuador. For further information, contact the nearest embassy of Ecuador.

Unfortunately, iVisa is unable to assist directly with the application process, but as soon as it's possible, we will do our best to provide a safe, reliable, and hassle-free process. Until then, we hope that the above information is helpful.
