Travelling to Puerto Rico

Traveling to San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU – Airport Code)

Puerto Rico is part of the United States of America so no passport is required for US residents, international travelers (non-U.S. residents) must carry a valid passport and may require a U.S. visa depending on their country of origin—please check visa requirements early. All travelers should confirm flight and lodging arrangements well in advance, as Festival dates coincide with peak tourism season. San Juan uses U.S. Dollars and follows Atlantic Standard Time (AST). English and Spanish are widely spoken. Please note that hurricane season begins in June, well after the Festival concludes. Please ensure travel insurance includes U.S. territory medical coverage and follow local safety guidelines.
