Where you can go as a visitor if your passport is from El Salvador

One question, every country, with your nationality already applied. In 3 of them something is written that changes the answer for you; in the other 29 the general rule is what you get, and that is the answer rather than a gap. Every line is that country’s own record.

Where your nationality changes the answer

Salvadoran Passports Are Accepted Up to Their Expiry Date

reaches you through a treaty with your country

The general rule it sits on

Costa Rica sorts every nationality into one of four entry groups, and the group decides both whether a visa is needed and how long the border officer may grant. The first group - most of western Europe, the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, and a long list besides - enters without a visa for up to 180 calendar days. The part that gets left out of most guides is that this stay is not extendable. An extension exists only for someone who was given less than ninety days at the border, and it can only take them up to ninety. The second group enters visa-free for thirty days, extendable to ninety. The third and fourth groups need a consular or a restricted visa obtained before travelling, and get thirty days, extendable to ninety.

No Passport Needed: the Identity Card Is Enough

reaches you through CA-4

The general rule it sits on

Ninety days on arrival, one extension of the same length, and a hard ceiling of a hundred and eighty days counted from the day you entered. Whether you need a visa at all depends on which of three buckets your nationality sits in - exempt, consular visa, or a visa the consulate has to clear with the migration institute first - and the buckets are regional rather than Guatemalan: the four CA-4 countries agreed in 2005 to run one classification between them. Two shortcuts move people between buckets: a valid United States, Mexican, Canadian or Schengen visa, and three continuous years of residence in a visa-exempt country. The ninety days are regional too. They are granted once, at the first border post into the four-country area, and they run down whether you spend them in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras or Nicaragua.

Arriving from Guatemala, El Salvador or Honduras

reaches you through CA-4

The general rule it sits on

Nicaragua does not give every visitor ninety days. The regulation sorts nationalities into three visa categories and grants a different stay to each: category A, which needs no visa, gets ninety days extendable to a hundred and eighty; categories B and C, which need a consular visa or a consulted one, get thirty days extendable to ninety. The days are regional, not Nicaraguan - they are granted at whichever outer border of Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras or Nicaragua you first cross, and the migration directorates of all four may extend them. A visitor must be able to show funds equal to three times the industrial-sector minimum wage if asked, and the tourist card, a vehicle crossing and an air departure each carry a dollar charge set by the tourism law rather than the migration law.
