Please Take Note
With an El Salvador Digital Nomad compatible visa, the first granted stay is 1 year. After the initial 1 year, it can be renewed easily for another 2 years. (right now, even if you apply the first time for 2 years, immigration is only giving 1 year visa).
Depending on your specific needs and characteristics, there are multiple types of visas that you may apply for. We will work with you to make sure that you receive the one that works best for you.
The main requirements for Digital Nomad Visas are proof of salary and a few easily obtained papers. Although this visa must be obtained while already in El Salvador, some documents need to be apostilled in your last country of residence. We recommend contacting us before coming to El Salvador so you can come prepared with those documents.

This residence is aimed at foreigners who enter the national territory and receive monthly and stable income from abroad, whose amount is not less than$ 1,460 dollars destined for their subsistence in the country.
The Digital Nomad Visa does not grant rights associated with employment. Digital Nomad Visa holders may not engage in any kind of paid work with El Salvador businesses, except work with the State, Municipalities or autonomous official institutions, on specialized matters or teaching.
