It must be requested while the applicant is outside Ecuador through the ministry's official digital service. - The Foreign Ministry describes the eVISAS service as electronic visas processed 100% online. Its current guide says the approved electronic visa is sent by email for the traveller to download and present, so this is normalized as eVisa rather than a non-electronic advance visa, ETA, or visa on arrival. - The foreign ministry's visitor regulation separately provides that a tourist may not perform work or economic activity. Passport validity, visa validity, purpose, route, residence, transit, diplomatic or official document, security, prior immigration history, and border-admission requirements remain separate and are not established by this nationality rule.

Official source: - [Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Human Mobility: Regulation to the Organic Law on Human Mobility](https://www.cancilleria.gob.ec/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/reglamento_a_la_ley_organica_de_movilidad_humana_23_marzo_de_2023.pdf) - **Current official route — Named South American ordinary passports: visitor entry up to 180 days** (Visa-free) The current exhaustive required-visa list does not include these named South American nationalities, and the Human Mobility Regulation allows South American tourists up to 180 days in a year. - The 180-day figure is the maximum that migration control may grant to a South American tourist in one year; it is not a guaranteed stay or an authorization for employment or economic activity. - The classification rests on the Foreign Ministry's explicit current list of all nationalities for which Ecuador requires a visa, read with the visitor-stay rule. It does not establish national-identity-card use, residence, work, transit, diplomatic, official, emergency, refugee, or other special-document treatment. - Entry remains subject to presenting an identity-verifying travel document, migration-control verification of the invoked status, security and admissibility requirements, and any current health or carrier requirements.

The current source does not state a nationality-wide eVisa, ETA, arrival-visa, or electronic travel-authorization route for this complement. - A foreign tourist may remain for a maximum of 90 days from the first entry in a year and may apply once for an extension of up to 90 further days under the regulation. This normal 90-day rule does not replace the distinct South American maximum. - The traveller must present a travel document verifying identity and satisfy the migration-control officer that the claimed immigration status applies. No work or economic activity is authorized by tourist entry. - This is limited to ordinary foreign passports. It does not establish diplomatic, official, service, emergency, refugee, stateless, laissez-passer, residence, employment, transit, special-purpose, or individual security/admissibility treatment.

It excludes work, residence, transit-only facilities, special documents, carrier checks and final-admission decisions.
