El Salvador-Italy bilateral cooperation

Overview

El Salvador and Italy have strengthened bilateral ties through administrative and labor-focused agreements. In August 2026, El Salvador’s Legislative Assembly ratified a treaty for the reciprocal recognition and conversion of non-provisional driving licenses. This agreement allows citizens of both nations to convert licenses without additional exams, barring special circumstances, to facilitate mobility and labor insertion.

Following this, in September 2026, El Salvador expanded its Labor Migration Program to include Italy. Under this initiative, an initial group of approximately 100 specialists and technicians, who completed Italian language training and preparation, are set to depart for Italy. The program, coordinated with Fondazione Horizzonti, aims to promote “circular, safe, and orderly migration” by providing formal employment opportunities.
