What Raahi used, when it was last refreshed, and what it cannot promise
Source data supports Raahi’s recommendations; it does not replace the destination’s immigration authority, airline or live booking provider.
Raahi presents visa and entry information for the Indian passport compiled from public datasets. This is general information for planning, not legal or immigration advice.
Visa rules, fees, and processing times change frequently and without notice, and the underlying data can be outdated, incomplete, or wrong. Requirements also depend on your specific situation — purpose of travel, length of stay, past travel history, and connecting/transit countries.
Before you book or travel, always confirmwith the destination country's official embassy, consulate, or immigration website, and with your airline. Raahi holds no responsibility for travel decisions made using this information.
Carrier names are a guide; check current tourist plans and coverage before you buy.
Visa/Mastercard are widely accepted, but your normal card adds ~3.5% forex markup plus ATM fees — a forex card avoids both. See Pay like home above for UPI/RuPay where it works.
Under RBI’s LRS you can carry forex within limits; large forex loads attract TCS — check current rules & rates before you buy.

Good to know

The best time to visit El Salvador is during the dry season, from November to April, when rainfall is minimal and humidity remains moderate, ensuring ideal conditions for outdoor exploration. Comfort scores peak at 83–88 during these months, with low precipitation and stable temperatures.
Best window
November – February
Shoulder tip
March offers a gentle transition into the wetter months with rising rainfall (24mm) but avoids extreme heat, providing a balance between activity and lower visitor density compared to peak season.
Maybe skip
May through September must be avoided due to intense rainfall (up to 308mm in September) and high humidity, which degrade comfort (60–69) and limit daytime activities.
