Puerto Rico is a US territory, so Mexican passport holders need a valid US visa or approved ESTA to enter. The B1/B2 tourist visa costs $185 in application fees, requires an interview at the US Embassy or Consulate in Mexico, and processing varies from 1 day to several weeks depending on the post. The Border Crossing Card (BCC/laser visa) only works for land border crossings to the US mainland within 25 miles of the border, not for flying to Puerto Rico. You need a full B1/B2 stamp or an approved ESTA-equivalent if eligible.
Mexican nationals are not eligible for the US Visa Waiver Program (ESTA), so a B1/B2 visa is the standard path. Required documents for the interview include a valid passport, DS-160 confirmation page, appointment letter, one photo (2x2 inches), and evidence of ties to Mexico (employment, property, family). Financial proof such as bank statements and pay stubs strengthens the application. B1/B2 visas are typically issued for 10 years with multiple entries, allowing stays up to 180 days per visit.
