Bermuda - Consular Information Sheet
 October 7, 1992

Consulate Location:  The U.S. Consulate General in Bermuda is 
located at Crown Hill, 16 Middle Road, Devonshire, in Hamilton; 
telephone (809) 295-1342.

Country Description:  Bermuda is a highly developed British crown 
colony, and is a stable democracy with a modern economy.  Tourist 
facilities are widely available.

Entry Requirements:  Proof of U.S. citizenship, photo 
identification, and an onward or return ticket are required for 
tourist stays up to 21 days.  For further information concerning 
entry requirements for Bermuda, travelers can contact the Embassy of 
the United Kingdom at 3100 Massachusetts Avenue N.W., Washington DC 
20008, tel (202) 462-1340 or the nearest British Consulate General 
in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Los Angeles, New 
York, or San Francisco.

Medical Facilities:  Medical care is available.  U.S. medical 
insurance is not always valid out of 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 Travelers hotline on (404) 332-4559.

Crime Information:  Bermuda has a low crime rate.  However, during 
the tourist season, pickpocketing, theft of unattended baggage, and 
theft from vehicles can occur.  Popular tourist attractions such as 
museums, monuments, restaurants, hotels, and transportation systems 
are often areas where criminals operate.  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 20402.

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

Registration:  Americans who register at the U.S. Consulate General 
can obtain updated information on travel and security within the 
area.
