I am planning to go to Puerto Rico for a few months from Los Angeles, but due to various reasons I am not able to leave the country for a while now because of my visa.
I heard that Puerto Rico can be reached with only a driver's license.
In this case, will I be asked to show my visa when I go from Los Angeles to Puerto Rico or from Puerto Rico back to Los Angeles ?
I am worried because Hawaii is a state but Puerto Rico is a territory. Will I go through immigration etc. ?
Please let me know if you know anything about this, thank you.

When was the #oldest time?
Lottery permanent residency winners, the first year, each person could apply for as many as they wanted.
Someone I know sent out about 3,000 letters.
The more you send out, the better chance you have of winning, and that's how I won.
The winner was the one who won.

All the people who came at that time have left, but
I wonder if you will survive.
Well, you came here for fun, so you might as well go home when you're satisfied with your fun.

No, no, no, I was in Japan at the time of the attack, and I am sure it was 2008. It was overland, by the way.

I have been to inspect local factories twice before 2008, and it was not so severe. There are people who come from Mexico to work across the border, so it would not make sense if we had to watch them every time they came to Japan.

I once gave a friend a ride to the bus terminal in Tijuana who was taking a bus back to his hometown in Baja California Sur, but he didn't have a passport. I had a free pass to enter Mexico and a California DL to enter the US. Those were loose ~ times.
Topix, if you are going to PR, don't forget your passport.

Kunisada village and Mikazuki village in Jyoshu are neighbors.

As a side note, you do not have to leave Tijuana to enter Mexico.
Tecate I was able to enter Tecate, where the beer factory is located, without any checkpoints, and it was less than an hour east of San Diego.
It was a small, peaceful, tranquil village. 20+ years ago, I would say that once you've been to Tijuana, you're done.
I think you can get to Puerto Rico just by DL.

# 28 Ask a travel agent, or what kind of visa,

I hope you made it to Puerto Rico,
but I hope when you come back you can come back regardless of visa.


I hope you don't think that
Japanese passport and visa holders are treated the same as American citizens.

If you can come and go with just your ID, go to Puerto Rico and
write your results.
You're right, 26 here is useless.

Topix
You wrote in 26 that you can come and go with only ID
so go to Puerto Rico
for a few months without a passport and you will be safe.

If you google it, you'll usually find various people's blogs and such that you don't need a passport to go to Puerto Rico.
If you have a valid US driver's license, they say you can go with just a driver's license.

https://4travel.jp/travelogue/11426122

By the way, you could go to Tijuana with a driver's license until 2007.

I did go there in 2005 when I was a teenager, but my American friend only had a driver's license.

#29 It comes up that you don't need a passport for Puerto Rico.

Are foreigners with Japanese passports also included?

You write that citizens of the United States and Canada could travel to Mexico without a passport.

Since you are a foreigner with a Japanese passport,
why don't you check it without cutting corners and then
ask and write it down? LOL

I wrote two things.
The first half is about Puerto Rico.
URL is also about Puerto Rico, and I attached a blog by a Japanese person living in NY.

The second half is about Mexico.
English text also says that Americans and Canadians could go to Mexico without a passport ?
Look closely, grandpa lol.

Thank you all for your comments

Is it possible for a Japanese national to enter and leave the country under a Japanese passport (visa free) ? ??

I am a US resident.
I hope this has already been resolved ?

Puerto Rico is also treated as being in the US.

Puerto Rico is a domestic flight from any US airport, including Los Angeles, so
when you arrive in Puerto Rico or
when you return to another state,
you will not go through the immigration gate, so

no worries if you have ESTA or visa

If you have ESTA or visa, you will not have to worry. Same as Hawaii and Alaska.

I did a round trip
New York JFK ⇆ Puerto Rico with a friend who came from Japan to visit New York
We both treated as domestic travel. No problem at all.


*The same goes for the US portion of the Virgin Islands in the Caribbean.



*However, you should check whether or not you need a corona test for corona disaster
even within the US, as each municipality is different.
Not sure now, but from late last year to January
flights to Puerto Rico required proof of a negative corona test within 72 hours.
(This is because the government of Puerto Rico is requiring that. )

Whether testing is also required when returning to Los Angeles
depends on whether the state of Los Angeles requires it.

If you don't have immigration, you don't need visa.
