Monaco - Consular Information Sheet
 October 7, 1992

U.S. Representation:  There is no U.S. Embassy or Consulate in 
Monaco.  For assistance, American citizens can contact the U.S. 
Consulate General in Marseille, France, telephone (33) 91549200, or 
the U.S. Consular Agent in Nice, France, telephone (33) 93888955.

Country Description:  Monaco is a constitutional monarchy and is a 
highly developed European nation.  Tourist facilities are widely 
available.

Entry Requirements:  A visa is not required for tourist visits of 
up to three months.  For further information concerning entry 
requirements for Monaco, travelers can contact the Embassy of France 
at 4101 reservoir Road N.W., Washington, DC 20007, or the nearest 
Honorary Consulate of Monaco in Chicago, Los Angeles, New Orleans, 
New York, San Francisco, or San Juan.

Medical Facilities:  Medical care is available.  U.S. medical 
insurance is not always valid outside 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:  Monaco has a low crime rate.  During the summer 
tourist season pickpocketing, theft of unattended baggage, and theft 
>from vehicles with foreign, out-of-town, or rental licenses 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, and dealing in 
illegal drugs are strict, and convicted offenders can expect jail 
sentences and fines.

Registration:  Americans who register with the Consulate General in 
Marseille or the Consular Agent in Nice can obtain updated 
information on travel and security in the area.
