STATE DEPARTMENT TRAVEL INFORMATION - Greenland
============================================================
Greenland - Consular Information Sheet
 April 18, 1994

Country Description: Greenland is a highly developed stable 
democracy with a subsistence economy.  It is a self-governing 
territory of Denmark.

Entry Requirements: A passport is required.  A tourist or business 
visa is not required for stays of up to three months.  For further 
information concerning entry requirements for Greenland, travelers 
can contact the Royal Danish Embassy at 3200 Whitehaven Street N.W., 
Washington, D.C. 20008, tel (202) 234-4300, or the nearest Danish 
Consulate General in Chicago, Los Angeles, or New York.

Medical Information: Medical facilities are 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: Greenland has a low crime rate.  The loss or 
theft abroad of a U.S. passport should be reported immediately to 
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 trip.  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, 
and dealing in illegal drugs are strict, and convicted offenders can 
expect jail sentences and fines.

U.S. Representation: There is no U.S. embassy or consulate in 
Greenland.  For assistance, U.S. citizens can contact the U.S. 
Embassy in Copenhagen, Denmark located at Dag Hammarskjolds Alle 24, 
telephone (45) 31-42-31-44.
