Visa

All incoming U.S. , UK , and Canadian citizens will be stamped with an automatic 90 day visa upon entry. This does not need to be done ahead of time, it isn't a separate process; the entry stamp allows all visitors 90 days. If coming from other locations, please check with an Ecuadorian Embassy or consulate for entrance requirements.

IFRE suggests all volunteers apply for a tourist visa before leaving for Ecuador . Though U.S. , UK, Canadian citizen are able acquire a visa at the airport, this can be time-consuming. Volunteers can acquire an Ecuadorian visa from the Ecuadorian Embassy or consulate in their home countries.
