Ecuador opened for international travel, welcoming all foreign tourists to explore its attractions. Whether you're visiting historical Quito, the fantastic Amazon rainforest, or the mystical Galapagos Islands, you must fill out a Health Declaration Form to enter Ecuador.
Like many other countries in South America, Ecuador established a series of entry requirements meant to curb the spread of COVID-19 within its borders. Below, we'll explain everything you need to know about this mandatory travel document and how you can safely visit Ecuador on your next holiday.
What is the Ecuador Health Declaration Form?
The Ecuador Traveler Health Declaration is a travel form that states the traveler's health status with the main goal of reducing the COVID-19 infection rate. With this form, local authorities can quickly identify potential virus outbreaks and take the necessary measures to safeguard public health. In the Health Declaration, travelers must truthfully state vital data such as their state of health, flight details, vaccine status, and emergency contact info.
Whether you enter through Rumichaca international border crossing, any of Macará International border crossings, or any airport in the country, you will need to process your health declaration to be allowed to enter.
The health declaration does not replace a visa. If you need a visa to enter the country, we recommend contacting the nearest Ecuadorian Embassy to learn about the visa requirements for your country of origin. But if you're unsure whether you'll need a visa to enter Ecuador, take advantage of the visa checker tool on our homepage. You'll only need to enter your country of origin and destination (in this case, Ecuador), and we'll tell you exactly what you need for your trip.
