To be honest, I didn't find it complicated. Took about 10-15 mins.
Procedure:
Go to the customs office (Aduana) after you have been stamped into Ecuador.
They required:
- Owners doc (Matricula)
- Drivers license
- Proof I had been passport stamped out of Colombia and stamped into Ecuador.
The guy then handed me a cell phone and asked me to take a photo of the front, and back of the bike and the VIN number.
They email you an authorization code, that they then use to approve the TIP.
The only issue I see is that if you have no phone data to get the email, as the WiFi is sketchy or not working at Ecuadorian customs.
Make sure you keep a copy of the TIP (piece of paper) as you will need it when leaving Ecuador.
