Tourist Travel Requirements for an Puerto Rico Visa for Swiss Citizens

  1. Appointment System

    The US Consulate operates an appointment system for the submission of non-immigrant visa applications. The current appointment waiting time at the Consulate is one month. The processing time is the time taken for the visa to be received after the scheduled appointment.

  2. Document Requirements

    Upon placing your order CIBTvisas will send you details for the following document requirements:

    • Passport
    • Digital Photograph
    • Application form
    • Appointment booking confirmation
    • Letter of Invitation
    • Business Introduction Letter
    • Proof of Financial Means
    • Proof of Residency 

  3. Previous Convictions

    Applicants who have ever been arrested, cautioned or convicted of a previous offence, must declare this information on their visa application. This will require ‘administrative processing’ by the US Embassy, and will extend the consular processing time of up to 60 days from the date of the visa interview. As timing is based on individual circumstances of each case, the US Embassy cannot guarantee visa issuance or visa processing times in advance of the interview. If you have a criminal conviction, we recommend that you apply well in advance of your intended travel date.

    A Police Certificate or Court records pertaining to the arrest or conviction must be taken to the appointment, this applies even if the sentence is considered spent.

  4. Additional Administrative Processing

    Some applications may be subjected to additional administrative processing at the US Consulate. In these cases CIBTvisas cannot guarantee the exact issuing time of your visa.
