Originally Published 1 year ago — by Yahoo! Voices
El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele has announced the offer of 5,000 "free passports" to highly skilled workers from abroad, granting them full citizen status and voting rights in an effort to boost the country's economy with foreign investment. The offer includes assistance with relocation and the elimination of taxes and tariffs on moving families and assets. This move is part of a series of radical reforms under Bukele's leadership, including adopting Bitcoin as legal tender and a crackdown on crime that has drawn criticism for alleged human rights abuses.
