Overview

Reconfirmed: Bangladesh has been on Ecuador's visa-exemption list since 16 November 2015 (part of the same policy change that exempted Afghanistan, Nepal, Pakistan and others), with no reversal found through today. Visa-free tourist stay is up to 90 days. Note: unlike Bangladesh, China's exemption on this list was later suspended and reinstated (2016-2024) — Bangladesh's exemption shows no such interruption. Could not access Ecuador's official Cancillería site directly this session (persistent TLS certificate error on cancilleria.gob.ec), so this is confirmed via Wikipedia/Timatic-sourced data only, not a direct primary-source re-check.

Visa types: VISA-FREE for Bangladeshi nationals — up to 90 days for tourism (per Ecuador's open visa policy). Long-stay visas via embassy: 9-I Tourist Extension, 9-II Business/Trade, 9-III Investor, 9-IV Religious, 9-V Student, 9-VI Worker, 9-VII Retiree, 12-I Mercosur Resident.
