Ecuador has officially ended visa-free airport transits for travelers from Nigeria, Ghana and 43 other countries, requiring them to now obtain a Transit Visa, known locally as Visa de Transeúnte.
According to TravelBiz, the new policy confirmed by Ecuador’s immigration authorities takes effect immediately.
This marks a major shift in the country’s immigration policy and is expected to affect thousands of international travelers who use Ecuadorian airports as transit points to other destinations across the Americas and beyond.
