This records the ordinary-passport baseline as visa-free. - DGME permits a valid national identity document or passport; this policy records the ordinary-passport baseline only. - A foreign traveller already in the CA-4 region must hold a passport and remaining regional stay time granted on first entry. - Residence, work, transit, crew, diplomatic, official, service, refugee, stateless and special-document rules are excluded. Official source: - [Dirección General de Migración y Extranjería: DGME: Control Migratorio — current entry questions](https://www.migracion.gob.sv/control-migratorio-preguntas/) - **Current official route — El Salvador: current named Category A ordinary passports** (Visa-free) The current RREE table and DGME’s linked full country list expressly assign these ordinary passports Category A, meaning visa-exempt. - The DGME list uses Category A for visa exemption; country-specific notes in the table are applied where they expressly change El Salvador’s ordinary-passport category. - Australian ordinary passports require a tourist card. That entry form/card is not treated as a visa or ETA. - The table’s non-El-Salvador CA-4 notes, and rules for diplomatic, official, service, refugee, stateless or special documents, are excluded. Official sources: - [Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores de El Salvador: RREE: Visas para Extranjeros — nationality and document table](https://rree.gob.sv/visas-para-extranjeros/) - [Dirección General de Migración y Extranjería: DGME: Países que requieren visa para ingresar a El Salvador](https://www.migracion.gob.sv/servicios/listado-visa/) - **Current official route — El Salvador: Ecuador ordinary passports — country-specific Category A** (Visa-free) DGME’s full current list gives Ecuador a country-specific El Salvador instruction of Category A for all passports, despite the row’s general Category B label. - This is the ordinary-passport baseline from the explicit El Salvador-specific note in the current DGME list. - Diplomatic, official, service, residence, work, transit, crew and special-document cases are excluded. Official source: - [Dirección General de Migración y Extranjería: DGME: Países que requieren visa para ingresar a El Salvador](https://www.migracion.gob.sv/servicios/listado-visa/) - **Current official route — El Salvador: current named Category B/C ordinary passports** (Visa required) The current RREE table and DGME’s linked full country list place these ordinary passports in Category B (consular) or Category C (consulted), both of which require advance visa authorization. - Category B is consular/sin consulta and Category C is consulted; both are advance-visa categories under RREE’s current definitions. - DGME’s online PEI is available to Category B/C applicants, but applicants may also apply at a diplomatic mission; an approved PEI is stamped in the passport at entry. It is therefore not a nationality-wide eVisa classification. - The RREE selector can depend on a valid United States, Canadian or Schengen visa and legal residence. Those third-country-document conditions are not nationality-wide classifications. - Visa grant, duration, entries, fee, sponsoring evidence, port and admission/security controls remain case- or route-specific; residence, work, transit, crew, diplomatic, official, service and special-document cases are excluded. Official sources: - [Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores de El Salvador: RREE: Visas para Extranjeros — nationality and document table](https://rree.gob.sv/visas-para-extranjeros/) - [Dirección General de Migración y Extranjería: DGME: Países que requieren visa para ingresar a El Salvador](https://www.migracion.gob.sv/servicios/listado-visa/) - [Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores de El Salvador: RREE: Visas — current category definitions and selector](https://rree.gob.sv/visas/) - [Dirección General de Migración y Extranjería: DGME: Permiso Especial de Ingreso online process](https://www.migracion.gob.sv/noticias/migracion-lanza-plataforma-en-linea-de-permiso-especial-de-ingreso-a-el-salvador-pei/) - **Current official route — El Salvador: Taiwan ordinary passports — country-specific Category C** (Visa required) DGME’s full current list gives the China (Taiwan) row a country-specific El Salvador instruction of Category C, despite the row’s general Category A label. - This is the ordinary-passport baseline from the explicit El Salvador-specific note in the current DGME list. - Category C is a consulted advance visa; diplomatic, official, service, residence, work, transit, crew and special-document cases are excluded. Official sources: - [Dirección General de Migración y Extranjería: DGME: Países que requieren visa para ingresar a El Salvador](https://www.migracion.gob.sv/servicios/listado-visa/) - [Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores de El Salvador: RREE: Visas — current category definitions and selector](https://rree.gob.sv/visas/) - **Current official route — Hong Kong SAR ordinary passport: Category A visa exemption** (Visa-free) El Salvador's current Foreign Ministry ordinary-passport table expressly includes Hong Kong among the Special Administrative Regions of the PRC and assigns Category A, exempt from visa. - The table distinguishes ordinary from diplomatic, official and service passports; this policy is only for the ordinary Hong Kong SAR passport row. - The table separately describes treatment of British passports held by Hong Kong-origin travellers. It does not change this direct Hong Kong SAR ordinary-passport classification. - Purpose, CA-4 stay limits, passport validity, carrier, security and final admission conditions remain outside this visa-category classification. Official source: - [Ministry of Foreign Affairs of El Salvador: Visas para extranjeros](https://rree.gob.sv/servicios/visas-para-extranjeros/) - **Current official route — Macao SAR ordinary passports: El Salvador advance Special Entry Permit** (Visa required) Macao's current passport authority directly maps the ordinary Macao SAR Passport to El Salvador's online application route. Salvadoran Immigration requires a favourable PEI decision before travel and treats the resulting passport-stamped permit as equivalent to an entry visa, so it remains an advance visa route. - Applies to the ordinary Macao SAR Passport short-visitor route expressly mapped by DSI to El Salvador's PEI service. - Complete the PEI application and receive a favourable result before travel; the approved product is equivalent to an entry visa and is not a walk-up visa on arrival, ETA or electronically issued visa. - DGME stamps the approved Special Entry Permit in the passport on entry through an air, sea, or land border. Purpose, stay, supporting documents, final admission, residence, work, diplomatic, official, service, and special-document routes are outside scope.
