#CARD:Grenada:Travel\Consular Information
Grenada - Consular Information Sheet
May 27, 1993
Country Description: Grenada is a developing island nation. Tourism
facilities vary, according to price and area.
Entry Requirements: Most U.S. citizens enter Grenada using their U.S.
passports. However, U.S. citizens born in the U.S. may also enter with a
birth certificate and photo identification. A visa is not required for a
stay of up to three months. There is an airport departure charge of U.S.
$14 (Eastern Caribbean $35 ) per person. For additional information
concerning entry requirements, the traveler may contact the Embassy of
Grenada, 1701 New Hampshire Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20009, telephone
(202) 265-2561.
Medical Facilities: Medical care is limited. Doctors and hospitals often
expect immediate cash payment for health services. U.S. medical insurance
is not always valid outside the United States. In some instances,
supplemental medical insurance with specific overseas coverage has proved
useful. For additional health information, travelers can contact the
Centers for Disease Control's international travelers hotline at (404) 332-
4559.
Crime Information: Street crime occurs. Tourists have been victims of
armed robbery in isolated areas. Visitors may wish to consult with local
authorities, their hotels and/or the U.S. Embassy for current information.
Valuables left unattended on beaches are subject to theft.
The loss or theft of a U.S. passport overseas should be reported to the
local police and the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. A lost or stolen
birth certificate and/or driver's license generally cannot be replaced
outside of the United States. U.S. citizens can refer to the Department of
State's pamphlet, "A Safe Trip Abroad," which provides useful information on
guarding valuables and protecting personal security while traveling abroad.
Both this pamphlet and "Tips for Travelers to the Caribbean" are 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. Criminal penalties for possession, use, and
dealing in illegal drugs are strict, and convicted offenders can expect
lengthy jail sentences and fines.
Embassy Location/Registration: U.S. citizens may register with the Consular
Section of the U.S. Embassy, located at Point Salines. The mailing address
is P.O. Box 54, St. George's, Grenada; telephone (809) 444-1173. U.S.
citizens may obtain from the U.S. Embassy updated information on travel and
security in Grenada.
No. 93-139
This replaces the Consular Information Sheet dated October 27, 1992 to add
information on reporting the loss or theft abroad of a U.S. passport.
