Key Requirements
Commercial Purpose
You must document a specific commercial act: signing contracts, attending business negotiations, delivering consulting services, or performing similar short-term commercial activities in Ecuador.
Background Check
Original criminal record certificate from your country of origin or residence, apostilled or legalized, translated into Spanish, and valid for 180 days (required for applicants 18+).
Activity Documentation
Proof of the commercial activity such as a contract, letter of intent, service agreement, or invitation from an Ecuadorian company. Plus proof of financial means and a completed visa application.
Every week you wait is a week of missed opportunity.
The biggest delay we see isn't immigration — it's applicants who overthink the document list. Message me your situation and I'll send you the exact checklist for your case — and tell you honestly if anything is missing.

Commercial Acts Visa FAQ
It's a temporary Ecuadorian visa for foreigners entering the country to conduct commercial acts, business negotiations, contracts, or other similar activities. It is NOT a residency visa and does not lead to permanent residence. It is issued for the duration of the commercial activity (typically up to 180 days, renewable).
Business people, contractors, consultants, executives on short-term assignments, or anyone entering Ecuador to perform a specific commercial act (sign a contract, attend negotiations, deliver a service, etc.).
Up to 180 days per entry, depending on the documented commercial activity. It can be renewed or extended while the activity continues. For longer stays or work authorization, see the Work Visa or Investor Visa.
Valid passport (6+ months remaining), a clean criminal record from your country of residence, proof of the commercial activity (contract, letter of intent, service agreement, or invitation from an Ecuadorian party), proof of financial means, and a completed visa application form. We provide the full personalized checklist.
You can perform the specific commercial act you were admitted for, but it is not a general work authorization. If you need to work for an Ecuadorian employer long-term, the Work Visa is the right category. If the commercial activity evolves into a longer-term business presence, the Investor Visa or a residency visa may be more appropriate.
