About Ecuador Visa Services
Accurate, actionable immigration information — built by expats who went through the process themselves.
Our Mission
We created this resource because navigating Ecuador's visa system shouldn't require a law degree. Immigration rules change frequently, government websites are in Spanish, and outdated forum posts can send you down the wrong path entirely.
Our goal is to provide the most accurate, up-to-date, and actionable visa information for anyone considering Ecuador — whether you're planning a retirement, launching a business, or starting a new chapter abroad.

Our Approach
Every piece of information on this site is gathered from official Ecuadorian government sources, verified against current regulations, and updated regularly. When requirements change, we note it — because outdated visa information can cost you time and money.
We cross-reference the Ecuadorian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Cancillería), immigration law updates, and on-the-ground experience from our own team and the expats we work with. Where requirements are ambiguous or vary in practice, we say so explicitly rather than guessing.
Government Sources
Information sourced from Cancillería and official regulations.
On-the-Ground Verified
Checked against real experience processing visas in Ecuador.
Regularly Updated
Reviewed and updated when immigration policies change.
Transparency
This site contains links to EcuaPass.com, our visa services company. We believe in being upfront about that relationship.
We also believe our service stands on its merits. Use the information on this site to educate yourself, evaluate all available providers, and make the decision that's right for your situation. Our EcuadorVisas.org comparison site can help with that.
