How to Get a Student Visa for Ecuador

Ecuador Student Visa

Ecuador Student Visa

Got accepted to a school in Ecuador? You are going to need to get a Student Visa for Ecuador before you go.

This type of visa (12-V) is for students who plan to begin, complete or improve their education in government or private facilities with government recognition. It includes students (at all levels, regular school year) and family dependents of the student (spouse, children).

The main hurdle with getting the Ecuador Student Visa is that you need to have a registration or admission certificate from a recognized Ecuadorian Educational Institution. You also are going to have to show that your studies will be for at least six months within a consecutive period of one year.

Go to my Ecuador visa page for information on the other types of visas for Ecuador.
