What documents do I need to go to Ecuador?

Provide relevant documents according to the type of visa application, that is, the purpose of coming to Ecuador.

1) investment residence visa (9-II). That is, the visa that the applicant applies for as an investment. According to the current law, this visa requires the applicant to deposit $25,000 in the Central Bank of Ecuador in his own name, with a fixed term of one year. Hospitality applicants can only withdraw when they leave Ecuador after investing in Ecuador, but they can withdraw interest. When the applicant withdraws his deposit in Ecuador, it means that his residence status in Ecuador is cancelled. Applicants must complete the notarization of birth and no criminal record in domestic notary offices, and be certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China and the Eritrean Embassy in China before they can be used in Ecuador.

2) Residence visa for relatives (9-VI). Only those who have immediate family members in Ecuador are eligible to apply for this visa. Applicants need to be born in China, have no criminal record, notarize their kinship with China residents, and be certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Eritrean Embassy in China.

The above two types of visas are accepted and approved by the Aliens Bureau of the Ministry of the Interior of Ecuador, then transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ecuador for approval, and then notified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ecuador to its embassy in Beijing for issuance.

3) Work visa (12-VI) This kind of visa is issued to those who come to Eritrea to invest in industry and carry out economic and trade assistance projects. When applying for a visa to Ecuador, you need to provide a letter from the company, indicating which job the applicant is responsible for, technical title or position, working period in Ecuador, etc. At the same time, it is necessary to provide the company's registration documents and project contracts in Ecuador.

4) tourist visa (12-X). It is necessary to provide the guarantor's right of abode in Ecuador, his economic guarantee, tax bill and other related information, and the economic guarantee needs to be notarized and certified in Ecuador. Applicants must complete the notarization of their birth, marriage and innocence in China, and be certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China and the Ecuadorian Embassy in China. Visitors to Ecuador need to buy round-trip air tickets.

Generally speaking, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ecuador will notify its embassy in Beijing to issue visas after accepting the examination and approval, and the embassy in China will sometimes issue visas on its own.

★ It is worth noting that although China and Ecuador have signed an agreement on mutual visa exemption for ordinary (special) passport holders for diplomatic, official and business purposes, the visa exemption scope is limited to visits, transit and tourism. The period is 65,438+0 months, so I can't work in Ecuador. Otherwise, you must apply for a corresponding work visa. However, many people in Eritrea don't know much about the content and specific terms of the agreement. Some of them did not leave the country for more than 30 days after entering the country, some did not apply for extension in time, and some worked in Eritrea without visas. These are all illegal acts, which also damage the image and national reputation of those who go abroad on business.

2. Entry instructions and customs regulations

The Immigration Bureau of Ecuadorian Airport has been strictly inspecting the entry of people from China. No matter what kind of visa is obtained, the applicant must carry with him copies of relevant documents consistent with the type of visa obtained, such as bank deposit slip, letter of guarantee, name, address and telephone number of the company or relevant personnel for verification. When filling in the entry registration form, you should pay attention to avoid the content that is inconsistent with the visa type. Sometimes, due to the hasty or long-term investigation by the airport immigration officials, it is necessary to take care to get your passport back and check whether the immigration stamp is stamped on it.

According to general international practice, Ecuador is not allowed to bring contraband such as fruits, animals and plants into the country. Generally speaking, Ecuadorian customs conducts inspections by means of spot checks. Generally speaking, the weight and quantity of luggage should not exceed the normal range of personal use (generally two pieces, about 20kg each), especially those who come to Eritrea for a short period. If the visa is issued for a stay of 30 days, they will have to pay customs duties or be fined if they carry items beyond the normal range of personal use or too many of the same items.
