Andorra - Consular Information Sheet
 April 26, 1994

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

Entry Requirements:  A passport is required.  Visas are not 
required for a tourist or business stay of up to three months.  For 
further information, 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 2375 Pennsylvania 
Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20009, tel. (202) 728-2330.  The 
French Embassy is at 4101 Reservoir Road NW, Washington, D.C. 20007, 
tel (202) 944-6000.

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.  Information on 
specific health matters is available through the Centers for Disease 
Control's international travelers hotline at (404) 332-4559.

Crime Information:  Andorra has a low crime rate.  However, during 
the summer tourist season, pickpocketing, theft of unattended 
baggage, and theft from vehicles can occur.  The loss or theft 
abroad of a U.S. passport should be reported immediately to the 
local police and the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.  U.S. 
citizens can refer to the Department of State's pamphlet "A Safe 
Trip Abroad" for ways to promote a more trouble free journey.  The 
pamphlet is available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. 
Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.

Drug Penalties:  U.S. citizens are subject to the laws of the 
country in which they are traveling.  Penalties for possession, use, 
or dealing in illegal drugs are strict, and convicted offenders can 
expect jail sentences and fines.

Registration:  U.S. citizens who register at the U.S. Consulate 
General in Barcelona, Spain can obtain updated information on travel 
and security within Andorra.

Embassy Location:  Andorra is a sovereign nation but, has no U.S. 
embassy or consulate.  For assistance, U.S. citizens can contact the 
U.S. Consulate General in Barcelona, Spain at Paseo Reina Elisenda 
23-25, telephone (34-3) 280-2227.
