Wilileaks handles the main one. Assange just put this out a few minutes ago.

Wikileaks has paid for Snowden’s travel cost and lodgings since he has left Hong Kong, Assange revealed. But Snowden paid his own hotel bills in Hong Kong, he said.

Asked about how Snowden had been able to travel after his US passport had been cancelled, Assange said Snowden was “supplied with a refugee document of passage by the Ecuadoran government”. But this did not imply they would accept his asylum application.
