El Salvador's Foreign Ministry sorts passports into category A (exempt from visa), category B (consular visa without consultation) and category C (consulted visa), and its migration law treats tourists as staying up to 90 calendar days. The UK and Canadian governments say their citizens do not need a visa. The UK government says you can travel between El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua for up to 90 days without a visa, and that the 90-day period starts when you enter any of these countries and does not restart when you cross borders.
- Passport validity
- At least 6 months of remaining validity are required (basis not specified in structured data).
- Return or onward ticket
- El Salvador's migration regulation (Art. 25) says foreigners entering as non-residents must have a return or onward ticket when travelling by commercial transport; a private aircraft must present its flight plan, and sea transport the navigation plan showing the port of destination. Canada's travel advice says customs officials may ask you to show a return or onward ticket and proof of sufficient funds to cover the cost of your stay.
