Ponce

Puerto Rico · Latin America · 137,491 people · America/Puerto_Rico · USD

Ponce scores 69.3/100 for digital nomads under balanced weights, ranking 100 of 1501 cities. There is no open cost-of-living figure yet; expect no dedicated nomad visa, and a measured median download speed of 63.6 Mbps.

Ponce is Puerto Rico's main southern city, with a neoclassical centre around Plaza Las Delicias, the red-and-black Parque de Bombas firehouse and one of the Caribbean's best art museums. As a US territory it uses the dollar and Americans need no visa. It is drier and quieter than San Juan, but you need a car, the power grid is unreliable and Mercedita airport has only a few direct flights.

Do you pay tax here on income from abroad?

Tax status · Puerto Rico

Residents pay up to 31.35% on worldwide income; US citizens skip US tax only on Puerto Rico-source income

Worldwide income

Puerto Rico has its own income tax and taxes residents on worldwide income at 0% to 33%, cut to 95% of the result (top rate 31.35%). US citizens who become bona fide residents owe no US income tax on Puerto Rico-source income, including pay for work done on the island, but still file with the IRS on US and other non-Puerto Rico income. Act 60 decrees cut tax on passive income (0% if you apply by 2026, 4% after) and on export services (4%).

On the nomad visa

Puerto Rico follows US immigration law and has no nomad visa of its own. US citizens can move freely. Others enter under the US Visa Waiver Program (up to 90 days) or a US visitor visa, which allow business or tourism but no local employment, so living there while working remotely is an immigration risk. For tax, a US citizen who stays fewer than 183 days or keeps a mainland home normally fails the bona fide residence test and stays fully taxable by the US.

Act 60 resident individual investor decree (applications filed by 31 December 2026)no fixed end
0% Puerto Rico tax on interest, dividends and capital gains on appreciation after the move, until 31 December 2035. Appreciation from before the move pays 5% if recognised more than 10 years after becoming resident (and before 2036), otherwise normal rates. Holders can extend to 2055 but then switch to the 4% rate. The decree covers only Puerto Rico tax: US citizens still owe US tax on US-source dividends and interest and on most pre-move gains, and the IRS runs an audit campaign on people who claimed Act 22/Act 60 benefits without meeting the US residence and source rules.
Who qualifies: Individuals who become bona fide Puerto Rico residents, were not Puerto Rico residents between 17 January 2006 and 17 January 2012, and file a decree application with DDEC by 31 December 2026 (11:59 pm portal timestamp). Each year they must give at least $10,000 to Puerto Rico nonprofits ($5,000 of it to listed child-poverty charities), pay a $5,000 annual report fee, and buy a home in Puerto Rico as their main residence within two years of the decree.
Act 60 resident individual investor decree (applications from 1 January 2027, Act 38-2026)no fixed end
4% flat Puerto Rico tax on interest, dividends and capital gains on appreciation after the move, until 31 December 2055. Pre-move appreciation pays 5% if recognised more than 10 years after becoming resident, otherwise normal rates. The same US tax limits apply as under the older decree.
Who qualifies: Individuals who become bona fide Puerto Rico residents after not living in Puerto Rico for at least the 6 years before the move and who apply from 2027. The $10,000 annual donation, $5,000 annual report fee and two-year home purchase still apply, and the home must be titled in your own name, jointly with your spouse, or in a grantor trust (no longer through a company).
Act 60 export services decree15 years
4% flat tax on net export-services income instead of up to 31.35%, with dividends paid from that income exempt; 75% exemption from property tax and 50% from municipal business licence tax. For a US citizen who is a bona fide resident, the income is Puerto Rico-source and excluded from US income tax, but US self-employment tax still applies to self-employment earnings. If the business already did this work in the 3 years before applying, the 4% at first covers only growth over that base, which phases out over 4 years.
Who qualifies: A business, including a sole proprietor or company you own, with an office or bona fide establishment in Puerto Rico that sells eligible services (consulting, software development, marketing, design, professional and many other listed services) to clients outside Puerto Rico, with no connection to Puerto Rico. You apply to DDEC. Wages from a foreign employer do not qualify.
