Frequently asked question
How much monthly income do I need for an Ecuador visa in 2026?
Income and asset evidence varies by visa category and current procedure. Common 2026 planning figures published for some routes include $482/month for some Professional cases, $1,446/month for some Pensioner, Rentista, or Digital Nomad cases, and a separate investment figure for the cited Investor route. Those figures are not universal eligibility decisions: confirm the current category, source-of-income rules, evidence window, asset definition, fees, and official SBU-linked calculation before relying on a number.
