YELLOW FEVER VACCINATION REQUIREMENT. As of May 12, 2025, travelers entering Ecuador must present a valid International Certificate of Vaccination against Yellow Fever if they: are nationals or residents of Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, or Brazil, or have visited or transited through these countries for over 10 days before arrival.
The vaccine must be administered at least 10 days prior to arrival in Ecuador. Travelers over the age of 60 are exempt from these requirements. For more details, please refer to official channels of the Ministry of Public Health of Ecuador.
Travelers over 60 are exempt from presenting a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate. Travelers with a medical condition are exempt from presenting a yellow fever vaccination certificate, as long as they provide a signed medical note from a doctor stating that they cannot receive the vaccine. Children over 3 years’ old must present their official Vaccination Certificate.
As an additional measure to ensure travelers’ wellbeing, we recommend those planning to visit Ecuador’s Amazon region (Sucumbíos, Orellana, Napo, Pastaza, Morona Santiago or Zamora Chinchipe provinces), regardless of nationality, acquire a vaccination against yellow fever in advance of their journeys.
