Ecuador Pensioner Visa

Visa term

Your pensioner visa is valid for 24 months. This means that after obtaining this visa you have the right to stay in Ecuador for 24 months.

Cédula

After having received your visa, you can apply for a cédula (Ecuadorian identity card). Applying for a cédula is not obligatory.

Being outside the country

There is no time limit on how long you can be outside of Ecuador. You can enter and leave Ecuador as many times as you want. An exception is when you want to convert your visa into a permanent resident visa. In that case you cannot be outside of Ecuador for more than 90 days during the total duration of your visa. In that case, for example, you can make five 14-days trips to another country (70 days in total), but you cannot make seven 14-days trips (98 days in total).
