[El Salvador Optimizes Immigration System, Temporary Residents Enjoy 0% Tax on Bitcoin Gains and Foreign Income]
According to a report by Bitcoin Magazine on June 14, El Salvador is continuously optimizing its immigration system to attract high-net-worth foreign talent and capital (including families). Under Decree No. 531, which takes effect on March 31, 2026, the residency requirement for temporary residents has been reduced from a mandatory 9-month stay within the country each year to just 90 days, either cumulative or consecutive. This adjustment primarily targets entrepreneurs, investors, and remote workers who need to travel across borders frequently.
El Salvador offers one of the most attractive tax regimes in Latin America for individuals with foreign-sourced income. The country operates on a territorial tax system, meaning only income generated within El Salvador is subject to taxation. A significant income tax reform in 2024 further clarified that both residents and non-residents are exempt from income tax on foreign-sourced income. This means freelancers, remote workers (such as content creators, developers, and entrepreneurs with overseas income) can enjoy a 0% income tax rate on their foreign earnings in El Salvador, with no cap on the amount.
