INTERNATIONAL VISITORS
Entering the Region
International travelers will most likely fly through New York City or another major
city on the east coast of the United States, which has numerous connections to Puerto
Rico's airports. If you are arriving by private boat, the same customs and immigra-
tions rules apply, though are much more loosely enforced than at airports. Boats ar-
riving from outside of Puerto Rico's territorial waters should contact customs 24
hours before landing in the territorial waters;
