About the Honorary Consulate of Slovenia in Quito
The honorary consul is Gustavo Páez Romero, according to the Ecuadorian foreign ministry’s diplomatic list.
Which Slovenian office handles passports and visas?
According to the Slovenian government, Slovenia is represented in Ecuador by the Embassy of Slovenia in Brasília (Brazil). For passports, visas and other formal consular services, contact the Embassy of Slovenia in Brasília; the honorary consulate in Ecuador can help with first steps.
Do Slovenian citizens need a visa for Ecuador?
No. Slovenia 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 Slovenia and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Slovenian 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.
