Tourist visa stay.

7 years ago

Hi there.
Was wondering how the granted tourist stay works for multiple entries. Spreading the standard 90 day stay out over 123 days with the extra time spent in Peru.

I know i am only allowed 90 days but i am coming with a round trip that departs Ecuador 123 days after arrival.
My plan is to spend the extra time in Peru and come back to Ecuador with enough tourist stay time left to catch my flight out,

I know things change, but i just looked up the tourist entry terms on the consulate website and other web sites. It seems i can come for the 90 days granted without a visa before arrival on a US passport, and that i can also apply for an extension while there..
But then it says if you plan on staying more than 90 days, you should apply for a visa before coming. So it seems a bit confusing.

I plan to stay 90 days only but also to spread it out over a 4 month period with the extra time spent in Peru. Maybe 60 days in Ecuador and then 33 days in Peru with the final 30 days in Ecuador.
My plan means i am assuming that they will allow me to stay for 60 days, exit to Peru for 33 days or more and then return to Ecuador for another 30 days, for a total on 90 days in the year.
Also i am asking if it is possible to come with a 4 month gapped round trip ticket, get the standard 90 days and get an extension for another 33 days or more. All without hassle that my ticket was booked as a 123 gap in the round trip.

Does anyone with direct experience in this situation have any personal experience to share? Thanks much.
