Ecuador Digital Nomad Visa Application Support

Work remotely for clients or employers outside Ecuador and qualify for 2-year temporary residency. If you earn at least $1,446/month from foreign sources, this may be a route to temporary residency. The timeline varies by document readiness and government review.

Looking for the evidence rules rather than application support? Read the Digital Nomad Visa requirements guide.

Key Requirements

Remote Income

Meet the current income threshold and document a qualifying foreign remote-work relationship or business. Bank deposits alone may not establish the required work basis.

Background Check

Criminal record check from your country of origin or countries where you resided in the last 5 years, apostilled and translated into Spanish. Valid within 180 days on arrival.

Health Coverage

National or international health insurance policy valid in Ecuador for the visa period. If employer-provided, the policy must specifically indicate coverage in Ecuador.

Every month you wait is a month you could already be living here.

The biggest delay we see isn't immigration — it's applicants who overthink the document list. Message me your work situation and monthly income, and I'll send you the exact checklist for your case — and tell you honestly if anything is missing.
