El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele has announced a new immigration policy aimed at attracting foreign talent to the country. The initiative offers 5,000 free passports, equivalent to $5 billion in the nation's passport program, to highly skilled professionals such as scientists, engineers, doctors, artists, and philosophers from abroad. These individuals, representing less than 0.1% of the country's population, will be granted full citizen status, including voting rights, and will benefit from incentives like 0% taxes and tariffs on moving assets to facilitate their relocation. The move is part of Bukele's broader strategy to boost the country's economy through foreign investment and to reduce crime by attracting skilled workers.
