Mexico to Ecuador visa requirements

No visa required. Mexican ordinary passport holders can enter Ecuador visa-free for tourism for up to 90 days within any 12-month period, granted free of charge on arrival as a T-3 tourist stamp. Mexico (MX) ordinary passport holders do not need a visa for short tourist visits to Ecuador. On arrival, immigration grants a free T-3 tourist stamp permitting a stay of up to 90 days, counted within a rolling 12-month period (not a calendar year). Mexico is not on Ecuador's list of nationalities that require a visa in advance, and this visa-free channel is confirmed by Ecuador's published visa policy and multiple current 2026 sources. To enter, travelers need a passport valid for at least six months beyond arrival, and should carry proof of onward/return travel, accommodation, and sufficient funds, as these may be checked at the border. If you wish to stay longer than 90 days, you can apply in-country for a 90-day tourist extension (12-IX), but the combined total is capped at 180 days within the 12-month window, after which you must remain outside Ecuador. Visitors to the Galapagos Islands pay separate fees (Transit Control Card and National Park entrance fee) regardless of visa-free status. There is no Schengen relevance: Ecuador is a South American country and not part of the Schengen area, so the 90/180 Schengen rule and ETIAS do not apply.
