Visa & Entry

Puerto Rico is a US territory. Spanish passport holders need either an ESTA or a US visa to enter. Spain is part of the US Visa Waiver Program, so the ESTA is the standard option for tourism or business stays up to 90 days. Apply online at the official CBP site (esta.cbp.dhs.gov) at least 72 hours before departure. The fee is USD 21. Approval is usually instant but can take up to 72 hours. The ESTA is valid for 2 years or until your passport expires.

US Customs and Border Protection runs the same immigration process in Puerto Rico as at any mainland US airport. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay. You will go through CBP questioning, fingerprinting, and photo capture on arrival. Have your hotel address and return flight details ready.

The 90-day ESTA stay cannot be extended from within US territory. If you need longer than 90 days, apply for a B-1/B-2 visa at the US Embassy in Madrid before traveling. The visa interview wait time in Madrid is typically 2 to 4 weeks.
