    Ecuador is a country with one of the most ‘open door’ policies in the world! There was a change in laws in October 2008, and now every country in the world does not require a pre Visa. There is an auto Visa as you present your passport at the airport for 90 days. For stays over 90 days a Student Visa for up to 1 year needs to be organised. We can provide the documentation for this. A Student Visa needs to be organised before the trip from the students home country.

    In general, hepatitis A and DTP and yellow fever are recommended but if you wish to stay longer than 3 months, more vaccinations are advisable. For more actualized information, also about malaria, please contact the Public Health Department in your home country.
