Where the governments disagree on Puerto Rico

Opinion on Puerto Rico is divided, though not dramatically: ratings run from level 1 to level 2. Netherlands and Taiwan take the stricter view, while Ireland, Poland and Canada do not. A one-level split of this kind usually reflects differing thresholds between governments rather than a dispute about the facts.

Currency varies between sources. Ireland's is the oldest assessment of Puerto Rico on file, last revised in July 2025, while the rest have been reviewed more recently.

Your own government's rating is the one your insurer and embassy will act on, so read that source first — the one level of daylight between the strictest and most relaxed assessments here is context, not a substitute for it.

Derived from 5 government assessments for Puerto Rico, most recently reviewed in October 2026.
