Andorra - Consular Information Sheet
 October 7, 1992

U.S. Assistance:  Andorra is a co-principality administered jointly 
by France and Spain and has no U.S. Embassy or Consulate.  For 
assistance, American citizens can contact the U.S. Consulate General 
in Barcelona, Spain, telephone (34) (3) 280-2227.

Country Description:  Andorra is a highly developed stable 
democracy with a modern economy.  Tourist facilities are widely 
available.

Entry Information:  Visas are not required for a tourist or 
business stay of up to three months.  For further information 
concerning entry requirements for Andorra, travelers can contact 
either the Embassy of Spain or the Embassy of France or the nearest 
French or Spanish consulate in Boston, Chicago, Detroit (France 
only), Honolulu (France only), Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New 
Orleans, New York, or San Juan.  The Spanish Embassy is located at 
2700 15th Street NW, Washington, DC 20009, tel (202) 265-0190.  The

Crime Information:  Andorra has a low crime rate.  However, during 
the tourist season, pickpocketing, theft of unattended baggage, and 
theft from vehicles can occur.  U.S. citizens can refer to the 
Department of State's pamphlet, "A Safe Trip Abroad" for ways to 
promote a more trouble-free voyage.  The pamphlet is available from 
the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, 
Washington DC 20520.

Medical Facilities:  Medical care is available.  U.S. medical 
insurance is not always valid outside the United States.  Travelers 
have found that in some cases, supplemental medical insurance with 
specific overseas coverage has proved to be useful.  Further 
information on health matters can be obtained from the Centers for 
Disease Control's international traveler's hotline on (404) 332-4559.

Drug Penalties:  Penalties for possession, use, or dealing in 
illegal drugs are strict, and convicted offenders can expect jail

in Barcelona can obtain updated information on travel and security 
within the area.
