STATE DEPARTMENT TRAVEL INFORMATION - Luxembourg
============================================================
Luxembourg - Consular Information Sheet
 October 18, 1995

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

Entry Requirements:  A visa is not required for tourist or business 
stays up to three months out of a 180-day period within the area of 
the Schengen countries, i.e., Luxembourg, France, Germany, the 
Netherlands, Belgium, Spain and Portugal.  For further information 
concerning entry requirements for Luxembourg, travelers can contact 
the Embassy of Luxembourg at 2200 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., 
Washington, D.C. 20008, tel (202) 265-4171, or the Luxembourg 
Consulates General in New York or San Francisco.

Medical Facilities:  Medical facilities are widely 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 and Prevention's hotline for 
international travelers at (404) 332-4559.

Crime Information:  Luxembourg 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, D.C. 20402.

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

Registration and Embassy Location:  Americans who reside in 
Luxembourg can register with the Consular Section of the U.S. 
Embassy.  The section has available updated information on travel 
and security within the area.  The Embassy is located at 22 
Boulevard Emmanuel-Servais in Luxembourg City, telephone (352) 
46-01-23.

 No. 95-129

This replaces the Consular Information Sheet dated October 18, 1994 
issued to update the section on Entry Requirements.
