Ecuadorian authorities 👮🏻♀️👮🏼 (migration officials and police) may carry out migration control operations. If, during one of these operations, you are fined or notified with an order of voluntary departure from the country, seek free legal advice and assistance from the Public Defender’s Office (Defensoría Pública).
⚠️ Attention! Always carry your identity documents and proof of your visa (the digital document or a physical copy). These are your only proof for carrying out procedures in Ecuador and in case any authority requests them, particularly during migration control operations.
