Permiso de Salida No Longer Required

The “Permiso de Salida” or “permission to exit the country” is a document that was previously required in order to leave Ecuador. This document was issued by the national police and was required for both residents and citizens of Ecuador.

Jason and I went to the Subjefatura de Migracion in Santo Domingo today to renew Jason’s Censo for this year and we found the following paper posted in the office:





The English translation is:

“To be published in the official registry of day December 29th 2007, due to the unconstitutionality of article 39 number 2 of the migration law, the sale of permissions to exit the country is suspended and is no longer a necessary requirement.”

This means that both citizens and residents of Ecuador are no longer required to get this document in order to leave the country. This makes preparing for a trip much easier.
