Coming as a Tourist

For complete details on tourist entry — the 90-day rule, extending your stay, SAM office locations, overstay fines, and the separate extension procedure for visa-required nationals — see the Tourist Entry & Extension page.

Quick Summary

  • Visa-required countries must obtain a tourist visa from an Ecuadorian consulate before traveling. Once inside Ecuador, you can extend via the eVISA portal ($50+$30).
  • Overstay fine: ~$482, paid at the airport before departure.
