Which are the requirements that travelers must comply with to travel to USA from Ecuador or other countries? Here I tell you everything you need to know.
Given the growing demand for travel from Ecuador and the vast majority of Latin American countries to the United States for health tourism or vaccine tourism, it is important to review what are the requirements that passengers must meet.
The opening or at least as it has been indicated by several states in the United States has generated a lightning travel boom to be able to access a dose, that in our countries are still distant, so in order to travel, some key benefits must be met.
Don't forget that there are many flights available again, but not everyone can travel and that is why we will review the requirements to travel this specific case to the United States.
Travel from Ecuador to the United States
First, we must go to this country in North America, therefore we must take into account the following:
- Present a valid passport for the duration of the trip (preferably 6 months of validity).
- You must have a valid tourist visa or another equivalent for the duration of the trip.
- To be able to board the plane, A negative PCR or antigen test must be presented even if they are 100% vaccinated.
- The antigen test is faster to obtain the result and is also cheaper.
- The test must be carried out 3 days before the flight.
- Upon check-in, after presenting the negative test, travelers must sign a document declaring responsibility that the evidence presented is real and the result is negative.
- Pro tip: upon arrival keep hotel or lodging information at hand.
- Pro tip 2: some states require you to fill out an online health form, so consult the specific requirements of the state to which they are directed.
The information in this point is also valid for trips originating in other countries in the region.
Travel from the United States to Ecuador
However, We all have to come back at some point, so we must take these requirements into account in the case of Ecuador, for other countries consult their specific requirements:
- To be able to address, the passenger must present a PCR test or the complete vaccination card according to the number of doses of each manufacturer with 15 days of application before the trip.
- If they have the card, they do not need to present any negative proof.
- The negative test must be carried out 3 days before the flight.
- Passport as a valid travel document.
- Upon arrival in Ecuador, you must resubmit the negative test or vaccination card to MSP staff..
- Upon arrival in Ecuador, you must fill out and submit the traveler's health declaration form, which is delivered on the plane or you can receive one before arriving at immigration.

Good evening. Excuse me, to travel to the United States, it is necessary to present a return ticket and you can only take PCR without having a vaccination card.
You must bring a return ticket, they could ask you to enter. Health requirements are listed here.
I understand that they do not validate the vaccination card and that they are requesting the vaccination certificate that can be downloaded from the MSP page, Could you confirm this information??
The protocol literally says vaccination card.
It is necessary to have a visa
It depends on your nationality.

Thanks.
No, This is enough as long as everything is current and updated..
good morning dear, I have doubts about the test, currently the government says that Ecuador does not ask for proof to get out of it, but in the United States obviously yes since being vaccinated is not essential, then I have the antigen test if it's ok? Are there different ones or is it just one of the antigens?? according to my result it says nasopharyngeal swab antigen
Of course, Ecuador does not ask for evidence to leave, but you must comply with the requirements of your country of final destination if it requests it as a requirement to board. About your question, for the United States, an antigen test like the one mentioned is useful.
