Before you apply

  • The income floor is a moving target — 3x Ecuador's basic salary (SBU) per month, which rises yearly (about USD 1,410/month in 2025). Verify the current SBU before quoting a dollar figure.
  • Unlike some neighbours, Ecuador taxes residents (183+ days) on worldwide income — there's no blanket foreign-income exemption.
  • Official total fee is USD 320 (USD 50 application + USD 270 grant), plus USD 250/month extra income per dependent. Payment must be completed the same day or the application is auto-deleted.
