Visa requirements for Ecuadorian citizens

An Ecuadorian passport

Visa requirements for Ecuadorian citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of Ecuador. In February 2016, Ecuadorian citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 81 countries and territories, ranking the Ecuadorian passport 58th in the world according to the Visa Restrictions Index.^[1]

Latin American countries do not require a passport as a document to allow Ecuadorian citizens to visit their countries as tourist; a national or state-issued ID card is enough. Nevertheless, this piece of identification must be in good conservation state and less than five years from its issue date, according to agreements signed in Mercosur's treaties.

As of August 2016, Fiji, Mauritius, Seychelles and Ecuador are the only countries whose citizens may travel without a visa to both Russia and China.
