In addition, UNHCR has field offices in Quito (Solanda), Esmeraldas, Guayaquil, Huaquillas, Ibarra, Tulcán, Lago Agrio and Cuenca.Ecuador is a destination and transit country for persons in need of international protection.

Since 2019, Venezuelans have been arriving in Ecuador at an average of 1,950 people per day, almost all through the border crossings with Colombia.
