#CARD:Liechtenstein:Travel\Consular Information
Liechtenstein - Consular Information Sheet
April 29, 1993
Country Description: Liechtenstein is a stable, democratically-run
constitutional monarchy with a modern economy. Tourist facilities are
widely available.
Entry Requirements: A passport is required. A visa is not required for
tourist or business stays up to three months. For further information
concerning entry requirements for Liechtenstein, travelers can contact the
Embassy of Switzerland at 2900 Cathedral Avenue N.W., Washington D.C. 20008,
tel (202) 745-7900, or the nearest Swiss Consulate General in Atlanta, San
Francisco, Houston, Chicago, Los Angeles, or New York.
Medical Facilities: Good medical care is available. Doctors and hospitals
often expect immediate cash payment for health services. 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. Further information on health
matters can be obtained from the Centers for Disease Control's international
travelers hotline at (404) 332-4559.
Crime Information: Liechtenstein has a low crime rate. The loss or theft
abroad of a U.S. passport should be reported immediately to the 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 journey. 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. In Liechtenstein, the penalties for possession,
use, or dealing in illegal drugs are strict, and convicted offenders can
expect jail sentences and fines.
Registration: U.S. citizens who register at the U.S. Consulate General in
Zurich, Switzerland, can obtain updated information on travel and security
in Liechtenstein.
U.S. Representation: There is no U.S. embassy or consulate in
Liechtenstein. For assistance, American citizens can contact the U.S.
Consulate General in Zurich, Switzerland, at Zollikerstrasse 141, 8008,
Zurich, telephone (41-1) 422-2566, fax (41-1) 383-9814.
No. 93-087
This replaces the Consular Information Sheet dated October 7, 1992, to add
the fax number of the Consulate General in Zurich, and to add information on
reporting the loss or theft abroad of a U.S. passport.
