Ecuador Consulate General Athens

Before your visit

• Location: Nikis 4, 105 63 Athens.
• By arrangement: arrange a meeting by phone or e-mail first.

What does the honorary consul in Athens do?

Ecuador is represented in Athens by an honorary consul general. Aida-Susana Vasquez-Alvear holds the post, according to the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Its jurisdiction is the whole of Greece. Visits are by arrangement only. To arrange a visit, call +30 210 756 1675 and e-mail cecuatenas@cancilleria.gob.ec.

The office is located in Attica.

The Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not publish visa rules for individual countries. It asks Greek citizens travelling outside the EU and the European Economic Area to check with the consular authorities of the country they are visiting before departure – for Ecuador, that means this mission.

Which Ecuadorian office issues passports and visas?

For passports, visas and civil status documents, Ecuadorian citizens contact the Ecuadorian Embassy in Rome (accredited to Greece).

Note: Ecuador has no resident embassy in Athens; its embassy in Rome is accredited to Greece.

Holidays and closures

Like most offices in Greece, the honorary consulate closes on public holidays – including Clean Monday, Orthodox Easter (Good Friday to Easter Monday), the Assumption (15 August) and Christmas. The Ecuadorian national day, 10 August, normally means a closure too. Many missions also close on their own national and religious holidays – call ahead.
