When I recently was in Guayaquil I went to the main office of the EC migration ministry. I was told that your EC visa MUST be moved to your renewed passport only when your cedula must be renewed.

In my case, my cedula must be renewed in 2026. My renewed USA passport expires in 2027. So, I plan to renew my passport in 2026 and then get my cedula renewed and move my visa at that time – assuming I live that long. In the meantime, I will carry my new and old passports with me when I go out/in the country. That way I will save the $150 which is the current (2017) price to move the visa to a renewed passport.

Of course, this being Ecuador, the rules probably will change.
