Ecuador Rentista Visa (no dedicated nomad visa): Family & Dependents

Bringing a spouse or kids on the Ecuador Rentista Visa (no dedicated nomad visa) — what changes and what to check.

Verified Aug 2026 · Ecuador's Ley Orgánica de Movilidad Humana (Article 60) and 2026 SBU-based income thresholds

Family members can apply as dependents, though the exact additional income figure per dependent varies across sources — some describe a flat $250/month per dependent, others a sliding scale (roughly 50% of the SBU for a first dependent, 25% for each additional one). Given this genuine inconsistency, confirm the current specific formula directly with the consulate handling your application rather than budget against either figure blindly.
