About the Embassy of Chile in Ecuador

The ambassador is Wilna Carola Muñoz Oliva, according to the Ecuadorian foreign ministry’s diplomatic list of missions accredited to Ecuador. Chile also has a consulate general in Guayaquil and an honorary consulate in Cuenca.

Do Chilean citizens need a visa for Ecuador?

No. Chile 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.
