El Salvador · Immigration
Key Facts
—Current Status The U.S. government extended TPS for Salvadorans for 18 months, but the program is currently slated to expire on September 9, 2026, creating a new cliff-edge deadline for the community.
—Re-registration Required Eligible Salvadorans must re-register during a strict window from January 17 through March 18, 2025, to maintain their protected status and work permits through the extension.
—Remittance Dependency Remittances from Salvadorans abroad make up about 17% of El Salvador’s GDP; a loss of TPS status for senders would directly threaten this major pillar of the national economy.
