Ecuadorian visa resources
Ecuador visa fees
Most visas carry a separate application fee and issuance fee, with concessions for older applicants and people with disabilities.
Important
Ecuadorian visas are generally charged in two parts: a non-refundable application (solicitud) fee and a separate issuance (otorgamiento) fee paid when the visa is approved. Fees are paid in US dollars through the e-VISAS platform.
Common examples from the official trámite pages include a USD 50 application fee across most categories, with issuance fees such as USD 30 (tourist/transit), USD 80 (student), USD 175 (permanent residence by marriage), USD 200 (amparo), USD 225 (permanent residence by time), USD 270 (work, autonomous, investor and digital nomad) and USD 750 for the naturalisation grant.
A 50% discount applies to applicants aged 65 and over, and a 100% exemption applies to persons with a disability of 30% or more.
