Latest information from Dana Cameron, Visa Guru, in Guayaquil
"Many folks have been concerned about the approaching deadline to file health insurance certificates with the visa office. I just spoke with Javier Pasaguay in the Guayaquil office. Some of you may be familiar with him as he used to be a Vice Counsul for the Ecuadorian Consulate in Washington. He says they do not yet have a firm date but are leaning toward November 10.
I asked about penalties for not registering by the date. He says they have not had any discussion about cancelIing visas for those who have not complied. Instead he said, they would be more likely to impose a fine. He was not able to give me a dollar amount as that has not yet been determined.
I can also register those that are emailed to me from any city. My fee is $30. You need to bring one copy of your visa page from your passport and two copies of your insurance certificate."
