Whether you\u2019re coming for the wildlife, the landscapes, or the once-in-a-lifetime adventure, it\u2019s essential to first understand the entry requirements before you go. Since the Gal\u00e1pagos is one of the most ecologically sensitive destinations on Earth, it therefore enforces strict regulations to protect its unique environment. As a result, all visitors are expected to comply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Before you board your flight from Quito or Guayaquil, be sure to have all required documents ready and clearly understand the rules for entering both the province of Gal\u00e1pagos and the Gal\u00e1pagos National Park. To help you prepare, this guide breaks down everything you need to ensure a smooth arrival and a responsible, unforgettable experience in the Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Gal\u00e1pagos travel requirements:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Valid ID or Passport<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Must be current and match the name on your airline ticket and TCT registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Round-Trip Airline Ticket<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> You must show a personal, non-transferable round-trip ticket, with a <strong>maximum stay of 60 days<\/strong> in the Gal\u00e1pagos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Transit Control Card (TCT)<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">  All visitors must obtain a TCT, which they can now complete online within a week of departure or at the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cost<\/strong>: $20 per person<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Tourist Days Available<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Remember, if you\u2019ve visited the Islands previously,<\/strong> ensure you haven\u2019t exceeded the permitted 60-day limit within a 12-month period, as per Ecuadorian regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <strong>Gal\u00e1pagos Biosafety Sworn Declaration<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To protect the fragile ecosystems of the Gal\u00e1pagos Islands, all travelers must complete a Gal\u00e1pagos Biosafety Sworn Declaration. Submit this form online at <a href=\"http:\/\/declaracion.abgalapagos.gob.ec\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">declaracion.abgalapagos.gob.ec <\/a>within 48 hours prior to your flight. It asks you to declare any biological materials, food items, or equipment that could pose a risk of introducing invasive species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After you submit the form, you\u2019ll receive a confirmation email with a QR code. When you arrive in the Gal\u00e1pagos, present this QR code to biosecurity officials, either digitally or as a printed copy. If you don\u2019t complete the form in advance, officials may ask you to fill it out at the airport or during your flight. Given that they\u2019re phasing out the paper version, we highly recommend submitting it online beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. <strong>Gal\u00e1pagos National Park Entry Fee<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This fee is collected upon arrival in the Gal\u00e1pagos and supports conservation and community development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>$200<\/strong> for international tourists (ages 12 and older)<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>$100<\/strong> for children under 12<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Please note<\/strong>, payment can be made in cash or by using Visa or MasterCard, so come prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galakiwi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Galapagos-sustainable-tour-sierra-negra-volcano-galapagos-naturalist-guide.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2201\" style=\"width:764px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Final Tips Before Your Trip<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be sure to complete your TCT registration online before arriving at the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fill out the Gal\u00e1pagos Biosafety Sworn Declaration<\/strong> online at <a href=\"http:\/\/declaracion.abgalapagos.gob.ec\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">declaracion.abgalapagos.gob.ec<\/a> up to 48 hours before your flight.
