Obtaining process:

El Salvador's Labor Code states that no foreign national may engage in employment without prior authorization from the Ministry of Labor and Social Security. Therefore, you must apply for a visa at the Salvadoran embassy in your country of residence.

You must bring the necessary documents above to the appointment and pay the official visa fee, which depends on where you are applying. You can contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for help understanding the requirements. After entering El Salvador, a person can apply for a temporary residence and work permit through the Ministry of the Interior.

El Salvador's Labor Code also establishes that foreigners enjoy the same freedom of employment as El Salvador residents, without restrictions other than those established by law. However, the Labor and Social Security and Home Affairs Executive may take such measures as it deems appropriate to maintain a balance in labor mobility in the Central American region (in the absence of additional arrangements or agreements).
