Required Documents
This is one of the most document-light programs in Central America.

You’ll also sign a sworn statement outlining:
The nature of your work (freelance, remote, or consulting).
Expected monthly income.
Planned start date in El Salvador.
No proof of income, employment, or company ownership required — just a simple declaration.
