non-immigrant visas
Welcome to the Non-Immigrant section of the American Embassy in Quito. Considering your interest in visiting the United States, we hope that the information available on the website will help you in your preparations for your trip.
If you would like to visit the United States temporarily, you should gather all documentation and be sure to fill out everything completely and truthfully in order to obtain a Visa to the United States. It is important to understand that there is no guarantee of your entry into the United States and that the Department of Homeland Security provides the final authorization of entrance and the length of your stay. We strongly suggest not purchasing your airline tickets until your visa has been approved.
The Consular section of the Embassy in Quito only processes visas for those who live in the following provinces:
| Bolivar | Esmeraldas | Pastaza | Orellana |
| Carchi | Imbabura | Pichincha | Tungurahua |
| Chimborazo | Napo | Sucumbíos | Morona Santiago |

Note: If you reside in another province you should visit the website of the Consulate of Guayaquil and learn the steps and procedures for obtaining a visa.
