How the 200-day rule works in El Salvador
El Salvador requires 200 days of presence in a calendar year for tax residency.
Calendar year (January to December). This means your day count resets every January 1. Days from the previous year do not carry over.
If you exceed 200 days, El Salvador may tax your worldwide income as a tax resident. The exact consequences depend on your personal situation, any applicable tax treaties, and the type of income involved.
