International Information

A valid U.S. passport is required to enter and depart Ecuador.  Tourists must also provide evidence of return or onward travel.  U.S. citizens traveling on regular passports do not need a visa for a stay of 90 days or less.  Those planning a longer visit must obtain a visa in advance of arrival.  Travelers who stay in Ecuador beyond the allowed entry time are charged a substantial fee and are barred from re-entering Ecuador for six months from the date of departure.  An airport exit tax is required when departing Ecuador.
