Key Requirements

Valid Passport

Valid passport with at least 6 months remaining at the time of application. Some nationalities need a pre-approved tourist visa before traveling to Ecuador.

Clean Background

Original criminal record certificate from your country of origin or residence, apostilled or legalized, translated into Spanish, and valid for 180 days (required for 18+).

Proof of Means

Proof of financial means (bank statements, travel itinerary, or sponsor letter) and proof of onward travel. Required for both pre-arrival visas and 90-day extensions.

Don't let a paperwork delay ruin your trip.

The biggest delay we see isn't immigration — it's applicants who overthink the document list. Pay the $100 retainer today (total service fee $200) and we'll send you a personalized checklist within 24 hours. The remaining $100 is only due after your visa is approved.
