Electronic ESTA authorization for business in Puerto Rico

In 2009, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security introduced ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) to provide security and expedite the process of obtaining travel authorization to the country. Because Puerto Rico is administered by the U.S. (but not an integral part of its territory), the island has similar entry requirements to those for travel to the continental United States.

ESTA for business travel is a special electronic program that determines whether visitors are eligible to travel to Puerto Rico (U.S.) without a visa. ESTA stands for "Electronic System for Travel Authorization Program" and is designed primarily for individuals who wish to enter the country for business activities rather than employment. Such activities may include attending meetings, conferences, contracting, or exploring business opportunities.

ESTA for business saves time and effort as it can be applied for online, no more need to apply for a regular business visa and no more need to visit the consulate in person.

Once you obtain an ESTA authorization, you can enter Puerto Rico either by air or sea. However, keep in mind that the trip does not have to end in Canada, Mexico, or any of the Caribbean countries.

The ESTA system is an efficient solution that greatly simplifies the process of entering Puerto Rico. The ESTA entry permit can be issued to foreign nationals enrolled in the Visa Waiver Program. Thanks to the convenient and fast online approval process, travelers can enter the country without hassle or delay. The Visa Waiver Program is open to citizens of 41 countries, including Germany, who can enter Puerto Rico using this permit, while other nationalities must go to an embassy to obtain a traditional visa.

The Puerto Rico Electronic Entry Permit authorizes you to travel to Puerto Rico multiple times within two years from the date of issuance. During this period, you may visit Puerto Rico an unlimited number of times. A stay of up to 90 days is allowed on each entry. This is convenient for travelers who frequently visit the country for business purposes. ESTA is a document intended for temporary stays only, and violation of the time limit is not allowed.

However, if you plan to stay in Puerto Rico for more than 90 days at a time or are visiting the country for other purposes such as work or study, you will need to obtain a regular visa.

It usually takes 3 to 5 days to process the order, verify all the information provided, and make a decision on whether to grant entry authorization. This time depends on the total number of applications. If all the information meets all the rules, ESTA should take no more than two days to process the application.

Electronic travel authorization opens the door for business travelers to meet with partners, make successful transactions and seek new business opportunities.

For a list of countries that require a consular visa before entering the island, see the section on Puerto Rico visas.

ESTA fees may vary depending on a number of factors, such as the nationality of the applicant, consular and service fees, processing time, and optional services (e.g. completing the online application for authorization, purchasing international health insurance and priority service).

For a more convenient and accurate calculation of the total cost of services, we recommend using the visa calculator, which allows you to calculate the total cost, including not only consular and service fees, but also additional services. The calculator is available online, which allows you to calculate the cost without the need to visit our office.
