About the Honorary Consulate of Thailand in Quito
The honorary consul is Henry Javier Yandun Cárdenas, according to the Ecuadorian foreign ministry’s diplomatic list.
Which Thai office handles passports and visas?
According to the Thai embassy in Lima, Thailand is represented in Ecuador by the Embassy of Thailand in Lima (Peru). For passports, visas and other formal consular services, contact the Embassy of Thailand in Lima; the honorary consulate in Ecuador can help with first steps.
Do Thai citizens need a visa for Ecuador?
No. Thailand is not on the Ecuadorian foreign ministry’s list of countries whose nationals need a visa (30 August 2025), so its nationals do not need a visa for a tourist visit to Ecuador.
What can an honorary consul do?
An honorary consul is not a career diplomat but a local resident – often a business person or lawyer – appointed by Thailand and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Thai citizens in an emergency (lost passport, accident, arrest), pass on applications and documents to the embassy, and certify signatures or life certificates. Passports and visas are not issued by an honorary consulate; they remain the responsibility of the embassy or a career consulate.
