I 9 Resident Visa requirements for staying in Ecuador first 5 years

[Ralph Dyer]

I am getting conflicting information from different sites as to the I 9 travel outside of Ecuador. The first two years – 90 days max each year out of Ecuador – seem to be consistent. It is the next three years that is confusing. What is the right answer?

Hi Ralph, you’ll find the visa rules in Ecuador are always in a constant state of flux. Every time we turn around, something had changed.

This was just sent to me today: Residents may not leave Ecuador for over 90 days per year during the first two years or for more than 18 consecutive months afterwards or more than 18 months in a 5 year period.

The only way yo verify that is to go to am immigration office and see what they say. However, the answer could vary depending on which office you go to.

Welcome to Ecuador.
