Guide last updated September 11, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months from date of entry
  • Proof of onward or return travel (flight ticket)
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or host address)
  • Evidence of sufficient funds for the stay, roughly USD 50/day recommended
  • No visa or entry stamp fee required for stays up to 90 days
  • Travel insurance recommended, not mandatory

Visa types

  • No tourist visa required for stays up to 90 days within a 12-month period (visa-exempt entry)
  • Business visits under 90 days fall under the same visa-exempt category, provided no local employment is undertaken
  • For stays beyond 90 days, or for work/study, a residency or temporary visa (visa de excepción / visa temporal) must be obtained in advance from an Ecuadorian consulate

Entry conditions

  • Algerian citizens receive a 90-day entry stamp on arrival, valid within any 12-month period, at any port of entry
  • No employment is permitted under this visa-exempt entry
  • Travelers must show a return/onward ticket and proof of funds if asked by immigration officers
  • Overstaying incurs a fine of approximately USD 200 plus USD 2-4 per additional day, and can affect future entries

Fees & processing time

  • No visa fee for the visa-exempt 90-day entry
  • No processing time since no advance visa application is needed
  • Extension or change of category applications cost approximately USD 30-50, with 5-10 working days processing

Tips for Algeria travelers

  • Carry a printed hotel reservation and return ticket; some entry points still request them despite visa-free status
  • The 90 days can be used continuously or split across multiple trips within the 12-month window, but total days cannot exceed 90
  • To extend beyond 90 days, apply at the Ecuadorian immigration office (Dirección de Extranjería) before the visa-exempt period expires
  • Register with your nearest diplomatic mission for safety updates in regions with travel advisories
  • Keep digital and physical copies of your passport, as Algeria's consular presence in Ecuador is limited
