    Requirements are none. The issue here – are you licensed or it is a pleasure massage. The massage business in PR is booming but in the wrong way…..prostitution is illegal and men/women have established massage parlors as a front for their prostitution business…so watch out.

    To research pay and apartments, I would recommend:

    For job and pay – search in your browser Empleos Puerto Rico and search the sites.

    For rentals – search

    My friend is a masseuse in Puerto Rico and he informed me that there is no license required to practice on the island. If you wish to work at a hotel or resort, they prefer some certification from an accredited health institute before they allow you to work there.
