Under this program, the country will offer 5,000 free passports to highly skilled professionals across various fields including science, engineering, medicine, art, and philosophy.

Valued at an impressive $5 billion, this initiative represents a significant investment in attracting global talent to the Central American nation.

This initiative aligns with recent reforms aimed at attracting foreign investment and underscores El Salvador’s commitment to becoming a hub for talent and innovation.
