Traveling to Puerto Rico with a Pending Felony Charge: What US Citizens Need to Know

Can a US Citizen with a Pending Felony Charge Visit Puerto Rico?

Yes. Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, and travel between the mainland and Puerto Rico is considered domestic travel. U.S. citizens—including those with pending criminal charges—do not need a passport and are not subject to immigration screening. There is no legal barrier preventing such travel.

However, individuals should be aware of any court-imposed travel restrictions (e.g., bail conditions) that may limit movement.
