How this access rule is documented

  1. Current official routeETA

    Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands: Visa Waiver Program ESTA

    CBP confirms that VWP-country citizens traveling for short business or tourism to Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands require approved ESTA.

    • Only tourism or business stays of 90 days or less under the federal VWP are covered; ESTA must be approved before travel.
    • A compliant e-passport is required. Current federal disqualifications include specified prior travel/presence and certain dual nationalities; an approved ESTA does not guarantee admission.
    • Work, study for credit, residence, diplomatic/official, crew, special-document and a visitor-visa route are outside this policy.
