Hello everyone,

I have some friends visiting me (I live in the US territory of Puerto Rico). They are permanent residents in the US. Do they need a tourist visa to visit a US territory?

This is a pretty good website for questions like that:

No. In fact they are not even leaving the US to visit you. Dabouz gives a good website. Bacisally permanent residents can visit Canada, Mexico and carribean islands without anything but their green card. In other countries they will be required to have the same visa a citizen of that country would otherwise need, if any. However, if they were from a country where it was difficult to get avisa before, they will find it very much easier now in most cases.

I seriously doubt that. In fact, I can't recall a single occasion where I have been asked to show my passport more times than when traveling from California via San Juan (Puerto Rico) to the USVI. On the way back, in San Juan, when boarding the plane, I was asked no less than 4 times to show my passport which was scrutinized like it was made from dynamite.

Try to board a plane flying for hours over enemy territory without a passport and see if there's a difference between what's written and what's happening in real life.
