It doesn't necessarily mean that he has to go to Ecuador, he can stay in the Ecuadorian Embassy in Moscow (if there is one). But, can he? He doesn't have a visa to exit the airport.

His passport has been cancelled but is there an international db to check valid vs non-valid ones? What if Russia made believe they never got the "Snowden's passport has been cancelled" memo?
- lmm 13y agoAIUI passport requirements are up to the receiving country. If Ecuador are willing to receive him then he can travel there (and travel through any number of airports on the way as long as he stays "skyside"), passport or no. Indeed the best policy for Russia and Snowden is probably for him to not legally enter Russia at all.
