Who requires a visa?
Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory of the United States, located in the northeastern Caribbean Sea, east of the Dominican Republic and west of the Virgin Islands. Visa requirements for entering Puerto Rico are the same as for entering the USA. See Passport/Visa in the USA section for additional information.

Under the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (introduced 23 January 2007), US citizens returning directly from a US territory do not need to present a passport to re-enter the USA.

Persons intending to take courses of study of less than 18 hours a week may do so with a tourist visa; otherwise a student (either an “M-1″ or “F-1″ class) visa will be required

For U.S. citizens, traveling to and from Puerto Rico is no different than traveling to and from other U.S. states and territories. No U.S. passport is necessary for a U.S. citizen traveling to Puerto Rico, or returning from Puerto Rico. However, some form of identification, such as a driver’s license, an identification card issued by a state or Federal agency or an original birth certificate, should be carried for identification purposes.
