#CARD:Luxembourg:Travel\Consular Information
Luxembourg - Consular Information Sheet
April 29, 1993
Country Description: Luxembourg is a highly developed stable democracy 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 Luxembourg, travelers can contact the
Embassy of Luxembourg at 2200 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C.
20008, tel (202) 265-5525, or the Luxembourg Consulate General in New York.
Luxembourg also has honorary consuls in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami,
Atlanta, Chicago, Kansas City, Kansas, New Orleans, Boston, Detroit, St.
Paul, Middletown and Youngstown, Ohio, Pittsburgh, and Seattle.
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's hotline for
international travelers at (404) 332-4559.
Crime Information: Luxembourg has a low crime rate. However, during the
summer tourist season, pickpocketing, theft of unattended baggage, and theft
from vehicles can occur. The loss or theft abroad of a U.S. passport should
be reported immediately to 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 Luxembourg, the penalties for possession, use,
and dealing in illegal drugs are strict, and convicted offenders can expect
jail sentences and fines.
Registration: U.S. citizens who register in the Consular Section of the
U.S. Embassy can obtain updated information on travel and security in
Luxembourg.
Embassy Location: The U.S. Embassy in Luxembourg is located at 22 Boulevard
Emmanuel-Servais in Luxembourg City, telephone (352) 46-01-23.
No. 93-089
This replaces the Consular Information Sheet dated October 7, 1992, to add
information on reporting the loss or theft abroad of a U.S. passport.
