🇨🇭 Switzerland to Ecuador: visa and entry requirements 🇪🇨

Visa-freeOrdinary passport

Visa-free · Initial visa-free tourist stay up to 90 days from first entry in a one-year period; one extension may be requested separately · Swiss ordinary-passport holders are not listed among the nationalities for which Ecuador requires a tourism visa and may therefore seek visa-free tourist admission. Ecuador's mobility regulation limits the initial tourist category to a maximum of 90 days counted from the first entry during a one-year period. A further continuous period of up to 90 days can be requested once from the migration authority after payment, but that is a separate extension and does not enlarge the initial grant. Entry must occur at an authorised migration-control point and the officer determines admission; work and residence require the appropriate status.
