El Salvador Rentista and Pensionado Visa
$4800.00
🇸🇻 El Salvador Rentista & Pensionado Visas – Residency Through Passive Income
El Salvador offers two passive income residency options: the Rentista Visa and the Pensionado (Retirement) Visa.
Both visas provide temporary residency, which can be renewed, leading to permanent residency in the future. The main difference is the minimum income requirement:
✔️ Rentista Visa – Requires $1,460/month in passive income.
✔️ Pensionado Visa – Requires $1,095/month in passive income.
If you meet these financial requirements, El Salvador offers a straightforward path to residency with minimal investment.
✅ What Are the Benefits?
✔️ Live in El Salvador Legally – 1-year residency with renewal options.
✔️ Path to Permanent Residency – After multiple renewals, you can apply for permanent residency.
✔️ No Local Taxes on Foreign Income – El Salvador does not tax foreign passive income.
✔️ No Investment Required – Unlike other residency programs, you don’t need to buy property or start a business.
✔️ Family Inclusion – Bring your spouse and dependent children as part of your application.
✔️ Easy Renewal Process – Renew your residency after one year and apply for two-year extensions after that.
