⚠️ Important Notes
Ecuador does not have a resident embassy in Pakistan. Pakistani passport holders should primarily use the online eVisa system. The USD is the official currency of Ecuador so no currency exchange issues arise for USD holders. Travelers should also note that Ecuador's altitude in cities like Quito can exceed 2,800 meters, so acclimatization may be needed. Carry printed copies of your eVisa, hotel bookings, and return tickets at immigration.
