Relocating to Puerto Rico?

Show all answers

Hi

If you are a US Citizen - you do not need anything else (paperwork wise) to work here in Puerto Rico

If you are a non US citizen you will need a Green Card to work in Puerto Rico (just as you would need a Green card to work in the USA.

Think of Puerto Rico as just another State of the USA (when it comes to travel and work). I know it is not a State but a commonwealth, but for travel and work it's similar to a State

I did a post on my blog about relocating, that might be helpful

From where are you from?
If you are US citizen, you do not need a passport or visa to move to PR. If you are not a US citizen you will need a passport and a visa to come here.

To work you must present a document that proves you are legally permitted to work in the United States. Social Security card...

You don't need a passport or a visa to recolate in Puerto Rico if you are a United States citizen. You will need a clean bill of health, a good police report, a good driving record, and a good carrier/custom laws broker in order to ship your goods and car to Puerto Rico.

PR is a US territory and there is NO requirement of a passport or visa (of any kind) to travel there or to live or work there. HOWEVER, you need to take your passport as a practical matter due to increased security. Even though you may get away with going there without it, US authorities will require it to get back into the US for security reasons. You do have to be mindful of local PR taxes if you will live there permanently or semi-permanently and earn money there. If you work there but receive a US paycheck at your US address from a US company you probably don't have to worry about local taxes, but I'm not 100% sure.
