Tourist Application Requirements for a Puerto Rico Visa
Document requirements
Upon placing your order CIBTvisas will send you details for the following document requirements:
- Passport
- Digital Photograph
- Application form
- Appointment booking confirmation
- Letter of Invitation
- Business Introduction Letter
- Proof of Financial Means
- Proof of Residency
Previous Convictions
Applicants who have ever been arrested, cautioned or convicted of a previous offence, must declare this information on their visa application. This will require ‘administrative processing’ by the US Embassy, and will extend the consular processing time of up to 60 days from the date of the visa interview. As timing is based on individual circumstances of each case, the US Embassy cannot guarantee visa issuance or visa processing times in advance of the interview. If you have a criminal conviction, we recommend that you apply well in advance of your intended travel date.
A Police Certificate or Court records pertaining to the arrest or conviction must be taken to the appointment, this applies even if the sentence is considered spent.

Puerto Rico Visa FAQ
-
When is the best time to apply for my Puerto Rico visa?
The best time to apply for your Puerto Rico visa is 1-2 months before your travel date. -
Do I have to send you my passport to get a Puerto Rico visa? Is it safe to send a passport?
You will need to send your actual passport, not a copy of it. The Puerto Rico visa is stamped on your passport and will become one of your passport pages. Visa requests cannot be processed without your original passport. Because of the importance of your passport, we strongly suggest that you send your application and passport to CIBTvisas in a secure way, using a traceable courier such as FedEx, UPS, Express Mail or Certified Mail.
