    Yes, in fact it is outside US borders. It’s not a US state. It’s a protectorate, like the US Virgin Islands, and has its own government

      True, but you don’t need a passport to go there. To your average American it’s as much outside the US as Hawaii.

        You don’t need a passport because it is inside US borders.

        Interesting subject. The US has many agreements with separate countries on travel. But, if you are traveling to another Caribbean island, and go through San Jaun for a connecting flight, you will be asked for your passport there as well as in Miami, or other US end point. Why? Because Puerto Rico has its own passport control, not US. Same is true of Canada, BTW.

          All states have their own passport control for international travelers.

          I’ve been to Puerto Rico several times, and I’ve never used a passport to go there or come back.

          -U.S. citizens do not need a passport to travel between the U.S. and these territories: -Guam -Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands -Puerto Rico -U.S. Virgin Islands

            That’s true because Puerto Rico has a reciprocal agreement with Puerto Rico, just like Canada.

              Through all of these comments, it’s really interesting to watch you constantly reshape your delusion To combat evidence that you’re wrong.

              Are you just so egotistical that you can’t admit you’re wrong?

                I’m not reshaping anything. I’ve been through Puerto Rico more times than I can count. Stayed there a while too.

                  Going to Puerto Rico does not suddenly make you correct about Puerto Rico. All of the facts prove you are wrong.

                  I’m sorry for your mental health struggles. Best of luck with that.
