Do Hong Kong passport holders need a visa to visit EC?

HK ordinary passport holders can travel to Ecuador visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days. No visa or pre-arrival application is required; a free entry stamp is issued on arrival. Holders of a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) ordinary passport do not need a visa to enter Ecuador for tourism or short visits. Ecuador's general visa-free regime grants up to 90 days of stay, and this is confirmed by the Hong Kong Immigration Department, which lists Ecuador with a permitted stay of 3 months. On arrival, immigration issues a T-3 tourist stamp at no cost. The 90-day limit applies cumulatively within any 12-month period, not per individual entry, so multiple short trips count toward the same allowance. Travelers should carry a passport valid for at least six months with blank pages, evidence of onward or return travel, proof of sufficient funds (commonly around USD 1,000 or a monthly income of about USD 500), and ideally travel/medical insurance. Ecuador uses the US dollar as its official currency, so no visa fees apply. Stays beyond 90 days require a paid extension or a different visa category, applied for through Ecuador's migration authorities. Note that Ecuador is in South America and is not part of the Schengen area, so Schengen/ETIAS rules do not apply. Requirements can change on short notice, so verify with an official source before travel.
