TRANSIT CONTROL CARD REQUIRED FOR GALAPAGOS

Source: International Galapagos Tour Operators Association

The Galapagos authorities will start applying the Transit Control Card required for all travelers flying to the islands starting on February 25th 2008. The card fee for each traveler will be 10 US dollars.

To help travelers in this process, the Galapagos National Institute (INGALA) has opened counters at Quito and Guayaquil airports in which they can buy the Transit Control Card. Local airlines and tour agencies can help passengers with more information and card registration before their departure.

For more information, please visit the Transit Control Card web page at: http://www.ingala.gov.ec/tct/. This card is a new strategy that authorities are using to control and reduce illegal immigration to Galapagos.
