If you fly into San Salvador you will have to buy the "tourist card" it is actually a single entry visa card. If you cross into El Salvador via bus or car immigration usually just logs in your entry and or exit. The do not stamp passports, they will sell you the tourist card is you insist but it will not extend your visa in the CA-4. If you are planning on staying in El Salvador for an extended amount of time I would suggest paying the $10 otherwise not really worth it. You are not required to carry your passport at all time in El Salvador and even when stopped when driving I have never been asked for it. Guatemala seems to have problems understanding the CA-4 agreement so unless you are heading to the airport and leaving via Guatemala make sure to stop and get your passport stamped. If you don't you may have problems leaving Guatemala i.e. paying a fine or being detained. Irene I live in El Salvador several months of the year and love the people and the country.
