After a lot of interviews this is what I learned:

a. You need visa if you are from:
Algeria, Bangladesh, Korea of the North, Korea of the Rich Sur,Costa, China, Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Lbano, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Pakistn, Palestine, Panam, Syrian, Sri Lanka, Sudn, Tnez, Vietnam, Yemen, or Venezuela.

b.
If your nationality is different to those mentioned here, you can start making baggage, and carry out a maintenance to your bike and be ready to travel.

c.
If you need to speak about important visa issues or other matters in the embassy of Ecuador in Beijing be adviced that the ambassador only know spanish, not a word of English or Chinese. Maybe it is better if you contact other members of the embassy or ask for a translator that you trust. Believe me on this one.

d.
Never let anybody charge you for the visa , be careful with that. Nowadays Ecuador rules are very strict and you can get in trouble if you have paid for something besides the ones that are required.

Good luck.
