FAQs

Question

Do I need to get tested for COVID-19 when traveling to and from Puerto Rico?

Answer

Fully vaccinated passengers on domestic flights NO LONGER need a negative COVID-19 test to enter Puerto Rico. Negative COVID-19 tests are only required for passengers arriving on international flights and those who have not been fully vaccinated; a negative antigen test will also be accepted for these travelers. You DO NOT need a COVID-19 test to return from Puerto Rico to mainland USA. If you are returning to other countries, you must follow your country's guidelines.

Question

What documentation do I need to enter Puerto Rico?

Answer

All persons entering Puerto Rico must fill out a Travel Declaration Form on the PR Health Department's online portal, which produces a QR code to proceed. Passengers need to present ID matching the Travel Declaration Form. We suggest you fill out this form before your flight, to expedite your arrival process in Puerto Rico. Here's the website to access the online portal: www.travelsafe.pr.gov

Question

Do I need to bring my vaccination card to the wedding?

Answer

Yes! To enter the hotel, you need your vaccination card and an ID, but a picture on your phone works just fine for both. We suggest you bring a photo of your vaccination card, and leave your physical card at your hotel so you don't lose it! Make sure you have that picture on your phone at all times in Puerto Rico, as well as an ID, because a lot of establishments require it.

Question

What are the current protocols for COVID-19 in Puerto Rico?

Answer

Masks are required when you are indoors and outside when in a large group of people.

All establishments that offer food require their employees and guests to be vaccinated. Have a picture of your vaccination card handy, as well as an ID. If a guest is not vaccinated, they must provide a 72 hrs or less PCR test. Establishments that do not comply with the executive order must reduce their capacity to 50%.

#seacaboladistancia means “the distance is over” in Spanish. For Gio and I, it meant the end of our long-distance relationship after I got back to Puerto Rico. Now, it has a second and special meaning as social distancing is coming to an end. Get ready for a double celebration!
