Do You Need a Passport to Visit Puerto Rico?

 It's similar to flying to Hawaii; you only need a government-issued photo ID such as a driver's license or permanent resident card. Non-US citizens and US citizens coming from abroad to Puerto Rico will require a passport. If you're visiting other Caribbean islands, like the British Virgin Islands or Dominica, you'll also need your passport for entry and re-entry into the United States.

For those of us wanting an easy and convenient "exotic" getaway without having to worry about documents or money, Puerto Rico fits the bill - it accepts US dollars, and your phone service will still work here too. But those are not the only reasons you should visit now - the island has an exciting contemporary art culture and delicious local cuisine (try green banana escabeche or yucca fritters with blue crab), plus a great selection of boutique properties.
