• the file goes in at least 4 weeks before entry
• the single-entry fee is US$40.00 and is not refundable
• documents include passport copies, a flight quote, hotel or lodging, an activity programme and financial backing ¹

Studying once inside the country

Form F-25 covers extending a temporary residence that has permission to study, for all nationalities. It needs a signed request, the original passport, an enrolment certificate with the class start date, and, for interns and scholars, an institution letter. The maximum response time is 45 working days. The fee is US$125.00 for up to one year for non-Central Americans. This covers extension inside El Salvador, not the first visa from abroad ².
