About the El Salvador passport

At #31 globally out of 200 ranked passports, the El Salvador passport puts holders ahead of 85% of the world. Like many countries, El Salvador extends citizenship to children of its nationals born abroad, making the passport potentially available to subsequent generations through descent.

Passport context

El Salvador applies a top marginal income tax rate of 30% and a capital gains tax rate of 10 to 30%. The country operates a territorial tax regime, taxing only income sourced within El Salvador, with foreign-sourced income generally exempt. Expats who establish tax residency in El Salvador and earn the bulk of their income abroad may significantly reduce their overall tax burden under this structure.
