During an interview realized to José Valencia, minister of Exterior Relations and Human Mobility since June last year, mentioned relevant information regarding the cost the Government will be incurring due to the increment of migratory flux of Venezuelan citizens on the last few months.
For example, starting august 26, Venezuelan citizens will be required a humanitarian Visa when entering Ecuadorian territory, the same that will be delivered through the Exterior Relations Minister web page, the same that will be operating as a virtual consulate. This process will be realized purely on the
internet, and when the requirements are fulfilled, there will be a one and only payment of USD 50 dollars and if necessary, a further interview will be required.
Several other questions where made regarding what type of visa will the Venezuelan citizens will require when entering Ecuadorian territory, which in this case will be either the humanitarian visa or tourist visa.
Another important question was the one related with the regularization of the Venezuelan citizens that are already residing in Ecuador. José Valencia answered they are currently working alongside the Government Minister. Also, there is a census due, determined in the Decree 826. Within this process there will be several basic questions which will facilitate the identification of Venezuelan citizens, as well as their necessities. Also, he confirmed that the census will be realized alongside the emission of humanitarian visa of short stay, which is scheduled this October 26. Finally, the cost of the whole process will be around USD 4.5 million, depending on how many people present themselves.
